WEST CARROLLTON, Ohio -- More fines are now suggested for alleged safety violations at a West Carrollton facility that blew up back in May.

The explosion and fire happened at Veolia ES Technical Solutions plant on Infirmary Road..

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) wants additional penalties, adding $64,000 in fines against $45,000 already proposed for a total of $109,000.

The company says in a statement, "We have been working diligently since the time of the explosion with all concerned agencies on their investigations, including our own internal inquiry. We will continue to work with OSHA to work through any issues or differences. Our company is dedicated to employee and site safety."

Four workers were hospitalized and some $50 million in damage was done.
