Covid-19 OSHA Complaint, Schewel Furniture Company Inc., 3602 Ferncliff Ave., ROANOKE, VA, 24017, USA
2 years ago
COVID-19 safety guidelines are almost completely ignored. Safety posters are present, but ignored. Management doesn't require employees or customers to wear masks or practice social distancing. Employees are not allowed to enforce mask rules with customers. Employees are told that they must work nearly every day even
if sick and possibly contagious. On at least two occasions, doctor's notes have been ignored by management, and employees were forced to come in to work & ignore doctor's orders. Items in the warehouse and on delivery trucks are stacked far too tall with no restraints creating a serious falling object hazard, and employees are instructed to simply pull down walls of high, heavy furniture in the interest of saving time. Fire exits in the warehouse are usually blocked by heavy merchandise. Employees operate a dangerous garbage compactor without any training or safety guidelines. Employees are not provided fully stocked first aid kits, proper PPE, or disinfectants.
