Osha quotes Scotia Mill for fireball incident, $ 68,560 in penalties-Times standard

Last month, the professional security and health authority quoted the Humboldt Sawmill Company for five violations of a “fireball” spark in Scotia at the beginning of this year, whereby the proposed punishments of a total of 68,560 US dollars were a total of 68,560 US dollars.

On March 31, a man was locked up in flames in the mill as he cleaned a device. Then he jumped out of a catwalk. The then 43-year-old employee suffered into his face and limbs as well as injuries as a result of the fall. He was brought into a local emergency room.

Shanson Wilson, fire chief of Rio Dell Dell Fire Protection District, told The Times Standard that the equipment was a problem for the department, since the staff was a system for laying out the system that could produce flames, and the names have previously melted their clothing when cleaning the system.

According to the inspection details of September 3, which was recently published on the Osha website, the agency quoted the company for violations of five safety regulations at California – including a provision in relation to “machines and equipment in which there is a risk of dust explosion” in order to avoid damage damage. This and a quote about a lack of personal protective equipment are 22,500 US dollars.

Other quotes include a lack of training for work hazards and a quote for emergency action plans. Four of the punishments are classified as “serious”, but none are deliberately or repeated. Each of the quotations in the inspection detail is described as corrected during inspection. Cal/Osha began to investigate the incident this week.

Humboldt Sawmill Company in Scotia refused to comment on an operator.
