Robert Peyser, 66, of Bellmore on Long Island, and his company, Kessler Thermometer Corp., had earlier pleaded guilty in Suffolk County court to reckless endangerment for exposing employees to mercury and not providing proper ventilation or protective equipment. “Kessler Thermometer Corp. knowingly endangered the lives and health of their employees by ignoring basic safeguards to control hazardous mercury in the workplace and failed to acknowledge its employees were being sickened by mercury exposure,” Kevin Sullivan, area director of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, said in a statement.
