The U.S Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited New Process Gear in DeWitt for 65 alleged violations of safety standards. The auto parts manufacturer faces a total of $145,350 in proposed fines following an OSHA inspection conducted under a program targeting workplaces with higher than average injury and illness rates.

"These citations address a variety of hazards which, left uncorrected, expose employees to potential falls, fire, crushing injuries, lacerations, amputations, being caught in the unexpected startup of machinery, or not being able to exit the workplace swiftly in the event of an emergency," said Christopher Adams, OSHA's area director in Syracuse, in a news release.
