The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced today that it cited the West Trenton, NJ location of a major bearing manufacturer with safety violations for exposing workers to dangerous working conditions.

According to the OSHA press release, the citations are the result of violations found in a November 2010 inspection of RBC -West Trenton, a division of the international RBC Bearings Inc., as part of the agency’s Site-Specific Targeting Program aimed at high injury industries.
