- <p> FINED. Imperial Food Products, Atlanta-based owner of a
- chicken-processing plant in Hamlet, N.C., where 25 workers died
- in a fire last September; in Raleigh. The state of North
- Carolina levied $808,150 in penalties for violations including
- locked exit doors and inadequate emergency lighting. The state
- had never inspected the plant in its 11 years of operation.
- While a record for North Carolina, the fine was small compared
- with multimillion-dollar federal fines for industrial accidents.
- With federal approval, the state administers its own
- plant-safety program.
