A post office in Ohio has been fined $225,000 by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration for alleged workplace safety violations.

The violations occurred at the post office's processing center in downtown Dayton. The spokesman said that the postal workers did not have proper training in order to use the electrical equipment and that they were not provided with the correct equipment in order to protect themselves.

OSHA said that they found risks for serious injury or death from these willful and serious violations in which the company is being fined for. The Postal Service has three weeks to respond to the fines.

Authorities say that three workers were injured at a Ohio construction site when a cement truck's boom collapsed.

One of the workers was trapped briefly after the collapse of the boom and suffered a broken leg as a result. Two other workers suffered fractures in the accident. All injuries are said to be non-life-threatening. The workers were pumping concrete at the site and the boom was fully extended at 180 feet. For unknown reasons, the boom suddenly fell on its side. Federal workplace safety regulators will be inspecting the incident to try and find a cause of the collapse.
