Worker suffers severe burns at Ohio plastics company
An employee of Wilbert Inc., based in Belmont, North Carolina suffered severe burns at the company’s Bellevue, Ohio manufacturing facility because procedures had not been taken to prevent the machine from releasing hot plastic during maintenance resulting in the injury.
That finding by OSHA investigators resulted in the issuance of eight serious and two other-than-serious safety and health violations for the plastic injection molding company.
