It's the contractor responsible for radioactive cleanup at the site.
The company will have to pay $3 million.
The DOE has also fined Parsons Infrastructure and Technology $70,000 for a separate 2009 accident involving a crane, which caused a worker to lose three of his fingers.
Site officials say safety programs at SRS have been improved since the accidents.
