Temp worker killed at Georgia plant; no answers for family
The Georgia facility at which a temporary employee was crushed to death by pallets last week has a history of safety violations and citations by OSHA. Fifty-nine-year-old Willie Bonner reportedly died at the Nichiha USA in Bibb County after a robotic arm knocked him onto a conveyer belt. OSHA is investigating the fatality.
News reports say Bonner’s is the second fatality to be investigated OSHA at the facility since it opened in 2007. Wall panels and siding are manufactured at the plant, which is the company’s first in the United States.
