California cited two Kaiser Permanente medical centers in the Bay Area last month for coronavirus-related violations over the last half year or so.
The health care giant’s Walnut Creek facility was cited by Cal/OSHA on Jan. 22 and faces a $45,000 fine, in part for allegedly failing to investigate and notify employees who had been exposed to the deadly disease. And its San Leandro medical center was cited on Jan. 4 in part for allegedly requiring employees to use respirators with defective face shields and cracked helmets. The total proposed fine for that center is $87,500.
