Inspectors from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) found that Dollar General stores in New Jersey and Pennsylvania were putting staff members at risk by failing to comply with federal laws. Dollar General has been fined $15 million since 2017 for blocked emergency exits and other failures to comply with safety measures. The dollar store chain’s locations “regularly review and refine our safety programs, and reinforce them through training, ongoing communication, recognition and accountability,” according to a company spokesperson.
