Totowa, NJ – Following two incidents involving work-related hand injuries, Precision Custom Coatings LLC has been cited by OSHA for numerous safety violations.
OSHA began investigating the company in September 2013 when they were informed that a machine operator’s hand was crushed while moving materials through a roller machine. During the investigation, OSHA was contacted about another incident where an employee suffered a partial hand amputation while performing machine maintenance. Proposed penalties for the safety violations total $185,400.
Employers are responsible for preventing or controlling hazards in the workplace. In this case, Precision Custom Coatings failed to use danger tags or proper guards on machinery to warn employees and protect them from injuries.
