Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Home Depot faces $51,480 in fines after its store in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. was cited by federal regulators for “repeat and serious” workplace violations. OSHA’s inspection found the required working space around eight electrical equipment panels was used for storage, restricting employees’ access to circuit breakers. Because the company was cited by OSHA in 2010 and 2012 for similar hazards at New Hampshire and New Jersey stores, respectively, OSHA issued a citation with $44,000 in proposed fines for the repeat violation, as well as $7,480 in penalties for two other violations.
