Ohio aluminum foundry faces fine following hand-crushing incident
OSHA is investigating General Aluminum, a foundry in Conneaut, Ohio, following the serious injury of a worker. According to OSHA, this will be its fifth investigation of the company since 2013.
OSHA says the incident involved a mold-tilting machine used to produce aluminum parts crushing a worker's left hand between the center core and bottom plate. The employee now has limited use of the hand and has been unable to return to work since the March 23, 2016, injury.
