Ohio worker loses part of finger on second day on the job
A new employee working on a machine that forged parts lost a fingertip in a November, 2014 accident that could have been prevented, according to OSHA, if his company had trained him properly to operate the upsetter machine and if the machine had proper safety mechanisms.
An inspection at Wodin, Inc. of Bedford Heights, Ohio following the incident resulted in 23 serious safety violations and has proposed penalties of $80,500.
