An OSHA investigation into an employee’s serious hand injury at an Omaha beef processing plant in June 2023 identified more than a dozen willful and serious violations related to the company’s failures to protect its workers from numerous safety and health hazards.
Investigators determined a worker helping a forklift operator position materials at Nebraska Beef Ltd. had their fingertip caught in the forklift attachment. This injury resulted in a medically necessitated amputation three weeks later.
