OSHA: Lauren Manufacturing Fails in Machine Safety
Plastics manufacturer operating in New Philadelphia, Ohio cited for numerous violations after one employee’s finger was severed and another worker’s arm was crushed.
OSHA has proposed Lauren Manufacturing pay $274,934 in penalties after two workers suffered debilitating injuries related to the company’s lack of machine safety.
An investigation was launched on the New Philadelphia, Ohio manufacturer after a pneumatic bench cutter severed a 27-year-old employee’s finger as she cut rubber material on June 22, 2016. This is the second debilitating injury suffered by an employee in less than 18 months, according to the agency.
