A temporary worker on his first day on the job at a Mansfield, Ohio, automotive parts manufacturer suffered partial amputation of two fingers. An OSHA inspection found that Milark Industries Inc. failed to install adequate machine safeguards, which led to the worker's amputation as well as other machine-related injuries. Company injury logs revealed another worker received a laceration injury. Milark was cited for: failing to lock out robotic welding equipment; bypassing safety interlocks to maintain production rate; bypassing safety devices while conducting maintenance; and failing to train workers on lockout/tagout procedures.

OSHA proposed penalties of $536,249 for seven egregious, willful and serious violations of safety standards resulting from multiple investigations of injuries and alleged unsafe working conditions. Milark has been inspected 10 times since 2007 and has been placed in the agency's Severe Violator Enforcement Program. Read the news release for more information.
