OSHA issues fine to Dallas company after spectacular blast

Federal regulators fined a Dallas company $6,300 in connection with a spectacular acetylene gas explosion last summer that sent metal canisters flying into the air.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration assessed the fine to Southwest Industrial Gases, a welding gas distribution facility.

But the government citations don't conclude that the violations caused the blast.

The Dallas Morning News reports the citations issued this week say the company exposed workers to serious hazards that were likely to cause death or serious physical harm.
