Federal workplace safety regulators slapped $121,650 in proposed fines against a Putnam filter manufacturing plant, authorities say.
The Boston regional office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Pallflex Co. for 29 alleged violations of workplace safety and health standards uncovered in January at its Putnam plant.
Pallflex is accused of compromising worker safety for, among other things, failing to provide proper safety gear, allowing electrical-shock hazards to exist, and for fall hazards.
The company also is accused of failing to properly maintain worker illness and safety logs.

Pallflex has 15 business days to answer the charges.
The company was closed Monday for vacation and unavailable for comment.
