On or about August 8, 2024, and at times prior thereto, employees working in the injection molding and container assembly areas of the facility were exposed to the hazard of high heat including high temperature during the performance of their job duties. On August 8, 2024, heat stress sampling indicated a temperature of 90.5 degrees Fahrenheit (F), and a heat index of 119.1 F.
