Two serious injuries in one month expose hazards at Alabama co.
OSHA inspections at an Alabama manufacturing facility following two serious injuries resulted in a host of citations for safety and health violations.
In June of 2015, a worker at Genpak in Hope Hull suffered a partial amputation of a ring finger as a machine unexpectedly started as he tried to clear a jam. Less than four weeks later, another worker was airlifted to a local hospital with severe burns after the forklift he was using ignited butane vapors, creating an explosion inside a shipping trailer.
