SoCal Metal Fabricator Pays $64K for Title 22 Violations

Posted on 7/15/2020 by Lauren Scott

DTSC has issued a $64,350 penalty to a metalworking business in Lynwood, CA for alleged hazardous waste violations in the Golden State.

DTSC discovered the alleged violations during unrelated inspections in May and June 2017 to ensure a previous business at the same site was shutting down correctly.

The consent order claims the company allegedly failed to maintain and operate the facility in a manner that minimizes the possibility of a fire, explosion, or any unplanned release of hazardous waste; unlawfully stored flammable paint waste, paint booth filters, and soap tank residue; and unlawfully treated hazardous soap tank residue.

The metal finisher has since corrected the alleged violations and has been cooperating with State investigators.

As always, Lion never disappoints

I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

The instructor was energetic and made learning fun compared to dry instructors from other training providers.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!

This is a very informative training compared to others. It covers everything I expect to learn and even a lot of new things.

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.

I attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

I have attended other training providers, but Lion is best. Lion is king of the hazmat jungle!!!
