Safety failures led to fatality at Fla. manufacturing facility
OSHA has issued a dozen citations and proposed $226,431 in fines following its investigation into the Nov. 29, 2016, death of a machine operator at a Pensacola-area electrical cable manufacturer.
Milton-based Gulf Cable LLC was cited for failing to take measures to protect 26-year-old Jonathan Gilmore, who was pulled into a re-spool machine and crushed as he attempted to guide electrical wiring cable into the machine. OSHA found the machine lacked the required guarding to prevent him from coming into contact with its moving parts.
