A Houston company faces more than $1.2 million in proposed fines for allegedly failing to record and improperly recording work-related injuries and illnesses.

HOUSTON (AP) -- A Houston company faces more than $1.2 million in proposed fines for allegedly failing to record and improperly recording work-related injuries and illnesses.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Wednesday announced 83 citations against Goodman Manufacturing Co. LP at the company's air conditioning cooling facility in Houston.

A spokesman for Goodman did not immediately return a message for comment to The Associated Press.

The OSHA investigation began March 2 in response to a complaint. A review found that Goodman had not recorded or failed to properly record 72 percent of employee injuries and illnesses from 2008 to March 15, 2010.

Goodman has 15 business days to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA or contest the citations and penalties.
