United States Department of Labor Cites Alabama Auto Parts Manufacturer $47,857 for Exposing Employees to Safety Hazards
OSHA has cited the auto parts manufacturer Arkal Automotive USA Incorporated for exposing workers to electrical and amputation hazards.
OSHA responded to a complaint about employees not being properly protected when entering injection molding machines. OSHA cited the employer for exposing employees to hazardous energy, inadequate machine guarding, failing to implement lockout tagout procedures when machine maintenance and servicing and failing to implement safety procedures for entering a robotic cage.
“Moving machine parts have the potential to cause severe injuries when they are not properly guarded and safety procedures are absent,” said OSHA Mobile Area Office Director Joseph Roesler. “Arkal Automotive USA Inc. failed to identify and correct hazards to ensure the safety and health of their employees.”
