WCB Case No. The defendant, Harvey A. Tofte, was not present, nor was he represented by counsel. The proceedings were recorded by Sue Herber of Business Support Services. This is a contested case under the Oregon Safe Employment Act, ORS 654.001 to 654.295 and 654.991. S042605888, issued by APD on October 3, 1988.
Defendant denies each and every allegation.
He was accompanied by Raul Pena, a field representative for the Bureau of Labor and Industries, who served as a translator. Approximately 30 Spanish speaking employees of defendant's corn growing and processing operation resided in a building located on the premises owned by the defendant. I am persuaded by the testimony of the inspector and by the photographs and documentary evidence received at hearing that violations of each of the above rules have been established. S042605888 is affirmed in all respects. You are entitled to judicial review of this Order.
