Temp worker suffers serious hand injury due to lack of machine guarding
A 30-year-old temporary employee required extensive surgery after suffering burns and lacerations of tendons and ligaments in her right hand after she used a cutting and sealing machine at a frozen bread manufacturer that supplies products to Costco Wholesale Corp., IGA, Piggly Wiggly and others.
OSHA inspectors found that Joseph Campione Inc., a food distributor in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, ignored safety requirements to protect workers from moving machine parts.
