Black Mag LLC since has withdrawn its notice of contest and agreed to entry of an order that it violated the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The company has certified that the violations have been abated by termination of all production operations, which occurred when the 2010 explosion destroyed its facility and put it out of business. Because it was licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the company was required by OSHA to execute ATF’s Notice of Discontinuance of Business, which the department has turned over to the ATF.
Black Mag LLC and Sanborn also agreed to the entry of a summary enforcement order in the U.S. Court of Appeals. Violation of such an order would permit the department to initiate proceedings for contempt of court, in which potential sanctions could include incarceration to secure compliance.
In the resolution papers, Sanborn agrees that he will not conduct, establish, own or manage by himself, with or through others, any current or future business that is covered anywhere under OSHA’s explosives or process safety management standards if that business employs workers or independent contractors. Additionally, he will have no involvement in any enterprise that has employees if it is located within 1,000 yards of another business that is covered under OSHA’s explosives or process management safety standards.
“While nothing can ever bring Jesse Kennett or Don Kendall back to their loved ones, this resolution is designed to prevent future deaths or injuries,” said Michael Felsen, the Labor Department’s regional solicitor for New England. “It includes a provision that will allow the Labor Department to charge Mr. Sanborn with contempt in federal court if he violates the terms.”
The settlement agreement has been filed with the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and will become the Commission’s final order on July 21, 2011. After that, the department will file the papers for an enforcement order in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit against both Black Mag LLC and Sanborn.
The original OSHA inspection was conducted by the agency’s Concord Area Office.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA’s role is to ensure these conditions for America’s working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

You have the right to a safe workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed at work. The law requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers.
If you’re injured at work you may need help filing any work accident claims with a lawyer who specializes in work injuries. It is the duty of the employer to establish a safe workplace environment.
