Arc Flash Accident News: 
IMPORTANT! 
 

Darling International Fined $91,300; Electrical Hazards

April 2nd, 2013

LEXINGTON, NE:  

 

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration  has cited Darling International Inc., which operates as DarPro in Lexington, with six safety violations, including one repeat, for failing to properly adjust or provide adequate machine guarding at its food byproducts processing facility. Proposed penalties of $91,300 resulted from the January local emphasis program inspection for high-hazard general industry establishments, as identified by injury and illness rates in Nebraska.

 

"DarPro has a responsibility to recognize the hazards that exist in the workplace and ensure equipment is properly adjusted and maintained," said Bonita Winingham, OSHA's area director in Omaha.  

 

"Employers who are cited for repeat violations demonstrate a lack of commitment to employee safety and health."
