Peruvian authorities fine Arcos Dorados over safety violations
Fine or penalty
Peruvian labor authorities fined Arcos Dorados up to 845,760 soles (approximately $250,000) after finding serious safety violations following the deaths of two workers at a McDonald's restaurant. The reported infractions included failure to provide safe working conditions and failure to report a death in a timely manner.
Source excerpt
The company closed its Peruvian outlets for two days following the deaths of its employees and said it is collaborating with investigators.
Among the other infractions found was a failure to provide safe working conditions, in terms of both the facilities and the equipment used, "specifically the soft drink dispensing machine." The Sunafil report said the company already knew the soda machine was damaged but "took no action."
Peruvian authorities on Thursday fined the local owner of a McDonald's franchise USD 250,000 for serious safety violations after two employees were electrocuted to death.
