Two workers at NJ manufacturing facilities suffer severe hand injuries
Company cited previously for lack of machine guarding
After one machine operator's hand was crushed and another's hand partially amputated, an OSHA investigation into at Precision Custom Coatings in Totowa, NJ found that the fabric manufacturer had failed to correct an earlier violation cited for a lack of machine guarding.
For that repeat violation, one willful one and a dozen serious safety violations, the company faces $185,400 in proposed penalties.
