After dozens of worker injuries, Pa. company hit with $1 million+ in fines
Shut out by Lloyd industries, OSHA needs help from U.S. federal marshals to gain entry
After numerous inspections, warnings and fines, OSHA has levied $822,000 in fines against Lloyd Industries Inc. -- bringing the company's total to more than $1 million in the last fifteen years. The company has also been placed in the Severe Violator Enforcement Program.
The latest fine follows a gruesome July 2014 accident in which the die on a press brake machine dropped on a worker's right hand, resulting in the amputation of three fingers. The machine lacked required safety guards and had not worked properly before the incident - a fact of which the owner was aware.
