Georgia pillow maker hit with $190K OSHA fine after worker amputations
The U.S. Department of Labor cited a South Georgia pillow manufacturer following an inspection that found three workers had sustained amputation injuries amid repeat workplace safety violations.
An inspection by OSHA in November 2021 found Place Vendome Holding Co. in Swainsboro exposed workers to some of the same hazards the agency found during an inspection one year prior, according to the release. OSHA has proposed $190,758 in penalties against the company, which operates as R&F Marketing.
