OSHA spokesman Mike Wald confirmed last week that the company had filed an appeal to the fine for safety and health violations.
The appeal will be reviewed by the Occupational Health and Safety Review Commission, which is an independent agency not tied to OSHA.
John Hansen, Mueller’s vice president of manufacturing, decline to talk more about the appeal.
“I have no additional comment or details,” he said. “It’s just part of the process.”
The Memphis-based company was fined on Jan. 25 by OSHA, which had conducted an investigation into a fire and explosion that killed one worker and injured two others on July 29 at the company’s Mueller Copper Tube plant in Fulton.
The company had 15 days to file an appeal, with a Feb. 12 deadline.
