The family of a Kentucky man killed in a workplace incident has filed a lawsuit against his employer, GE Appliances, and other parties.
Steve Herring, who’d worked for the company for more than two decades, died in February after being pinned by machinery while working on a refrigerator-building assembly line. News sources are reporting that the state OSHA’s investigation into the fatality found that it could have been caused by an inadvertent activation of an improperly positioned gate interlock control.
