National discount retailer Dollar General faces nearly $1.3 million in penalties from a federal worker safety watchdog.
Federal inspectors found worker-safety violations in three Georgia stores located in Pembroke, Hogansville, and Smyrna earlier this year.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration said inspectors discovered obstructed exit routes, hard to access electric panels, and unsafely stacked merchandise.
In the last five years, OSHA has called for over $6.5 million in penalties to the corporation nationwide for similar violations.
In a statement, Dollar General said they have reviewed their safety expectations with store teams.
