Charles Greer Lumber Co. has been cited by OSHA for 18 safety and health violations following an April inspection of the company's plant in Suwanee, Ga. Penalties total $87,780.
The violations include failing to provide appropriate machine guarding on equipment, such as the automated bread oven, and provide fall protection for employees working on top of the ovens.
OSHA began the inspection of the Lorain facility in November 2010 after a worker was hospitalized with a broken pelvis when he fell 9 feet from a coil transfer car in the bar mill.
