Officials from Yaffe Iron and Metal plant in Muskogee say they will meet with OSHA inspectors this week to discuss citations.

The citations were given to the plant after a furnace explosion in December 2004 killed two workers.

The company was cited for inadequate documentation for certain chemical elements and the dangers of mixing them with aluminum; failing to ensure that the company's safety officer went through proper company safety training; and not having a material safety data sheet easily accessible to employees.

A Yaffe spokesperson disputes the last citation. The company was fined less than $10,000.00.
