OSHA cites lumber company $260,113 for inadequate machine guards after worker suffers injury while setting up molding machine

Federal safety inspectors found electrical safety violations and multiple woodworking machines at a Wisconsin lumber company lacking adequate safeguards and that workers were not properly trained in isolating energy to machines to prevent contact with operating parts during set-up, servicing and maintenance.

"Despite earlier machine-related injuries, OSHA found several machines at the company lacked adequate safeguards to prevent workers from coming in contact with operating parts," said Robert Bonack, OSHA's area director in Appleton. "Menzner Lumber & Supply should immediately re-evaluate its safety and health programs and ensure their workers are properly trained."
