Employee fatally injured in egg processing facility
OSHA has cited a Nebraska egg processing facility for multiple safety violations after an employee suffered fatal injuries when he was struck by a dock leveler - a device used to allow a forklift to travel between a loading dock and a trailer.
Wakefield-based Michael Foods Inc. faces $188,464 in proposed penalties after OSHA investigators determined that the employer failed to properly brace the dock leveler during the maintenance procedures, causing it to fall onto an employee who was assisting in maintenance on the device.
