Industrial Accident Triggers Investigation And Fine At Plant

September 2, 2016 by Lee Hoffoss

The Department of Labor found fifteen serious violations at a Center, Texas Tyson Foods plant, and fined the company $263,000.

The worker tried to clear a belt jam by removing chicken parts, and doctors had to amputate a severely cut finger. Investigators ultimately cited the Arkansas-based company for a number of life-threatening violations, including improper safeguards on moving parts, dangerously high carbon dioxide levels, insufficient worker safety precautions, and improper compressed natural gas storage.
