Georgia peanut processor exposed workers to falls, amputations
McCleskey Mills Inc. has been cited by OSHA for 28 safety and health violations for exposing workers to amputations, falls and other safety hazards. The agency initiated the February 2014 inspection at the peanut processing plant in Rochelle after receiving a complaint. Proposed penalties total $72,553.
"McCleskey Mills cannot continue to expose its employees to these hazards and must immediately address the lack of safety controls," said Robert Vazzi, director of OSHA's Savannah Area Office. "An effective safety and health management system would have identified these hazards and corrected them."
