Formed Fiber Faces OSHA Fines for Lockout/Tagout Negligence

Share Via

Auburn, ME – Formed Fiber Technologies is being fined by OSHA for failure to implement lockout/tagout procedures that would ensure worker safety against such hazards as lacerations, crushed fingers, amputation (or worse) if struck by or caught in unguarded or unexpectedly activated machinery.

Employees at their Maine manufacturing plant use a variety of worker safety lockoutmachines, including robots, to make polyester carpets and thermoformed trunk liners for the automotive industry.

Formed Fiber was fined $816,500 by OSHA in 2014 for falsified safety records.
