Representatives from a Madison County cookie company expect to meet with labor officials this week to discuss safety citations proposed after an investigation into the death of a worker.

The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed 19 serious and four nonserious safety violations that could cost the De Beukelaer company more than $55,000 in fines.

Guatemalan immigrant Elsido Rene Orozco Gomez died on June 16 at the factory located in the Gluckstadt industrial park east of I-55.De Beukelaer CEO Dale Currie said the company has not formally met with OSHA to discuss the proposed citations.

He expects the meeting to be Friday. The company has no plans to issue a formal statement before that meeting, he said.
