Over $250,000 in Proposed Fines After a Worker's Arm was Pulled into a Machine TEMPLE, TX – Federal workplace safety investigators have determined that a Temple manufacturer and designer of school furnishings could have prevented an employee's serious and permanent hand and arm injuries by installing required machine guards. Investigators with the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration learned that in April 2024, while using a garden hose to clean machine rollers at Artco-Bell Corp., the hose became caught in the rollers, pulling the worker's arm into the machine and leading to the worker injury. In addition to failing to ensure the use of machine guards, OSHA inspectors found the company exposed workers to respirable crystalline silica hazards. The agency issued citations for 24 serious safety and health violations and assessed $257,183 in proposed penalties. |
Hazardous Waste Violtions Result in $233,300 Penalty The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today that U.S. Army Garrison Fort Wainwright will pay $233,300 for violating federal hazardous waste management requirements.

At the time of the inspection, EPA determined the facility was operating as an unpermitted hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility. Several hazardous wastes were stored improperly and containers were left open or were stored on-site longer than allowed. [ more ] |
