The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited a Bellevue, Ohio-based plastics company that allegedly exposed its workers to fall, machine and electrical hazards.
OSHA investigators determined that Wilbert Inc., which operates as Wilbert Plastic Services, exposed its employees to crush injuries, burns and fall hazards while they conducted maintenance on plastic injection molding presses, OSHA said Friday in a statement.
Wilbert has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
