Un trabajador sufre lesiones graves al quedar atrapado su brazo en una máquina 

Menos de un año después de que los inspectores federales citaran a un fabricante de mangueras de caucho de Ohio por 11 violaciones de la seguridad de las máquinas, la empresa se enfrenta ahora a una multa adicional de 70.000 dólares después de que los fallos de seguridad llevaran a un trabajador de 27 años a sufrir graves lesiones en su planta de Bellefontaine, Ohio.

Los inspectores de la OSHA que investigaron la lesión del 16 de febrero de 2016 en HBD/Thermoid, Inc. encontraron que una correa de transmisión mal protegida atrapó el brazo izquierdo del trabajador y le causó laceraciones y fracturas. La agencia emitió una citación intencional a la empresa el 9 de junio.

“HBD/Thermoid es un infractor reincidente que sigue poniendo a los trabajadores en riesgo de sufrir amputaciones y lesiones graves al ignorar las normas de seguridad de las máquinas industriales utilizadas por los trabajadores que fabrican mangueras de caucho en las seis instalaciones de la empresa en todo el país”, dijo Kim Nelson, directora de zona de la oficina de OSHA en Toledo. “La empresa debe tomar medidas inmediatas y solucionar estos problemas de seguridad en sus instalaciones. Los empleados y sus familias pagan el doloroso precio cuando las empresas no siguen las normas para reducir las lesiones.”

En mayo de 2015, la OSHA citó a las instalaciones de Bellefontaine, por una infracción intencionada y 10 infracciones graves de seguridad, e impuso sanciones por valor de 134.000 dólares. La agencia inició la inspección de 2015 tras recibir una remisión de la División de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional de Carolina del Norte después de que un empleado muriera tras quedar atrapado en una máquina industrial en las instalaciones de la empresa en Salisbury.
