My brother worked there for several years.  This duck-and-cover approach seems to have been SOP for a long time and comes out of a corporate culture that is about evading rules rather than playing by them.  Glass is widely known as a really dirty business.  They had an opportunity to figure out how to do it better.  Instead they evaded and denied and tried to keep doing it the old way--work practices changed for OSHA inspections, cleanup and waste disposed of on weekends when nobody was around, employee blood tests dismissed or ignored etc.   For decades everybody else paid.  Now maybe some justice.
