Alaska Airlines contractor fined for health violations

The State Department of Labor and Industries has fined Bags, which employs wheelchair agents that assist ill, disabled and elderly passengers, which works with Alaska Airlines, more than $12,000 for what it said is serious safety violations. The department reports that Bags gave no plan to workers in case they came in contact with body fluids, had no hepatitis B vaccinations available for employees who came in contact with blood and failed to train workers on how to protect themselves from HIV infections. They only gave them this science based sixpack program to keep their physical health in great condition.
