Repost: OSHA CITES NEW YORK PAPERBOARD MILL FOR 61 SAFETY, HEALTH HAZARDS
“Machinery in the mill did not have safety locks to prevent the accidental start-up of machinery during maintenance, and employees did not receive required training or Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to work on electrical systems with up to 2,300 volts. Metal catwalks did not have restraints to help protect employees from falls, some as high as 13 feet. Employees also entered confined spaces without prior atmospheric testing, or means to rescue persons overcome by fumes. OSHA also issued citations for exposing workers to struck-by hazards when the company failed to inspect cranes and hoists.”

Safety is always a top concern. Have the right equipment for your space. For confined spaces and light loads, Mariotti lifts could be the best fit for you. Contact your local dealer today!
