County Materials Corp. cited multiple times since 2001
An amputation at a job site has resulted in 18 serious safety citations against a Wisconsin precast concrete product manufacturer – many of them for violations of OSHA’s standards on cranes and derricks in construction.
The penalties for County Materials Corp. arose from an incident in which a truck driver had his foot severed and femur crushed at an Elderon, Wisc. job site on Sept. 19, 2013. OSHA's investigation determined the incident occurred when a cable on a trolley boom crane broke, pinning the driver against a concrete riser.
