$101,200 to a food supplement manufacturing facility in Nebraska for allegedly exposing workers to amputation and fall hazards
$89,500 to an Ohio-based manufacturer for machine guarding and lockout/tagout violations following an incident in which a press crushed a worker’s hand
$44,410 to a fish processing plant in Massachusetts and a temporary employment agency in connection with the shucking machine death of a sanitation supervisor
