Packaging Corporation of America has history of worker injuries, fatalities
A double worker fatality in 2012 and a triple fatality in 2008 did not result in the abatement of hazards at Packaging Corporation of America facilities; seven of the 30 citations issued recently after a worker was injured on the job were for repeat violations.
In the latest incident, which occurred in March at the company’s pulp and paper mill in Tomahawk, Wisc., a worker was severely burned while attempting to relight a steam boiler in the plant.
