Minnesota's Department of Labor and Industry’s has issued a $63,000 fine against the Minnesota Security Hospital for “serious” workplace violations, according to an article on the St. Peter Herald website.
The citation contained nine dates between May 10 and July 13 during which insufficient safeguards at the facility potentially jeopardized employee safety.
“More work needs to be done to improve safety at the Minnesota Security Hospital. We are committed to that work, and are currently collaborating with staff, labor partners and others to ensure a safer environment for all employees and patients," Carol Olson, executive director of the state’s Forensics Services and the St. Peter facility, said.
“The department will be working with lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session to make additional safety improvements, including key upgrades to facilities at the Minnesota Security Hospital – which will be an essential component of that effort.”
