Following several investigations, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has cited Dollar General for workplace safety violations. Violations have been identified at the company’s locations in more than 240 inspections across the nation since 2017. These inspections have led to more than $21 million in proposed penalties for the national discount retailer.
Responding to a complaint, OSHA opened inspections at stores in Adams, Franklin and Dauphin counties. Inspectors found Dollar General exposed employees to blocked exit routes and electrical panels, and overall poor housekeeping practices.
