OSHA Cites Alabama Lumber and Flooring Manufacturer $218,192 after Employee Fatality at Selma Facility
OSHA cited Miller & Co. Inc. for failing to protect employees from struck-by hazards.
The employee was fatally struck by a piece of wood while attempting to clear a jammed machine. OSHA cited the company for failing to lockout equipment prior to beginning maintenance, ensure machines were properly guarded and train employees on lockout/tagout procedures.
"Employers are required to identify safety hazards, implement safety measures and train workers on the proper use of safety equipment," said OSHA Mobile Area Director Jose Gonzalez. "Tragedies such as this can be prevented if employers comply with workplace standards, as required by law."

"Over 200 employees throughout our offices are required to complete Blood borne Pathogen Certification annually. Employee availability and scheduling conflicts made it nearly impossible to schedule an onsite class. We were pleased to learn that our OSHA requirements can be satisfied online. Looking forward to the ease of use next year." Mary M., Cardinal Health
