The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited a Wisconsin rendering plant after a worker was severely burned by steam and hot oil.
OSHA said Thursday it cited Green Bay-based Sanimax USA LLC for failing to develop and implement hazardous energy control procedures when clearing blocked pumps and piping at the facility.
The worker suffered serious burns when a pump seal released steam and hot oil as workers tried to clear a blockage in January.
OSHA proposed $296,668 in penalties. The company was issued citations for three repeat and 10 serious safety and health violations.
The company, a subsidiary of Montreal-based Sanimax of Canada, operates facilities in Green Bay and DeForest, Wisconsin, as well as in St. Paul, Minnesota.
