OSHA fines plastics recycler $164,000 following worker’s fatal fall
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Tuesday, June 22, 2021 that it has fined a Toccoa, Georgia-based plastics recycler $164,000 after a worker fell to his death late last year.
OSHA said Scrap Masters Inc. had installed “some” fall protection on the platform from which the 56-year-old worker fell but that it failed to meet federal safety standards.
