OSHA finds safety violations at Army pond

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a dozen safety standards were violated at an Army weapons-testing pond near Baltimore where three people have died this year, the Labor Department said Thursday.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration found seven serious violations at the Aberdeen, Md., facility, known as the “Super Pond.” OSHA began investigating after a civilian technician died while performing routine maintenance in the pond on Jan. 30. Four weeks later, two sailors drowned during a routine dive.
