Imperial Sugar Releases Statement on OSHA Citations

Gramercy, La - On Friday evening, March 21, Imperial Sugar Company’s Gramercy, Louisiana refinery received citations from the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (“OSHA”). Since the inception of OSHA’s investigation at Gramercy, the company and its associates have and will continue to work with OSHA in their process and respond to their reasonable requests. The company does not agree with the type and/or severity classification of the citations and will most likely contest the validity of the type of citation, its severity classification and/or the penalties assessed through the appeal process specifically provided by OSHA regulations.

“We pledge to our associates and contractors that we will continue to provide a safe work place. Our associates and contractors are themselves involved with and very helpful in achieving this goal.”
