2012 - 10/15/2012 - Marglen Industries in Rome, Ga., cited by US Department of Labor's OSHA for willful and serious violations following amputation of worker's fingers: ROME, Ga. – Marglen Industries Inc. has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration for one willful and one serious safety violation after a worker had four fingers amputated while servicing a dust collector's airlock system at the company's facility in Rome. OSHA initiated an inspection in response to the incident under the agency's National Emphasis Program on Amputations.
The willful violation involves allowing employees to perform service and maintenance on the dust collector's airlock system without developing, documenting and using a specific lockout/tagout procedure for de-energizing the system. A willful violation is one committed with intentional knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
