OSHA fines Union Carbide record sum in 221 violations
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed a record 1.377 million dollar penalty against Union Carbide Corp for 221 alleged safety violations at its Institute West Virginia plant over three years. The action, the largest in OSHA history, targets failures in record keeping and gas leak detection with charges of willful disregard.

The agency says the results were forwarded to the Justice Department for possible criminal charges.
