The Fieldbrook Foods Corp, which operates out of Lakewood, N.J., has been cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for “willfully” failing to shut down the machine prior to maintenance, resulting in two separate amputations.
At the time, OSHA indicated that the worker involved in the 2018 incident was employed at Fieldbrook-owned Mister Cookie Face LLC, a manufacturer of ice cream sandwiches. OSHA found Fieldbrook Foods at fault for failing to properly shut down the machine before both incidents. The company now faces proposed penalties of $237,176.More Related News
