1 week agoMass. company pleads guilty to OSHA violation that led to employee's death
Prosecutors said the company was using a large soil screener, weighing nearly 36,000 pounds, to process soil and other materials. Part of the machine, known as the tail conveyor, weighed about 1,500 pounds and could be raised or lowered during operation. Court records show the tail conveyor had unexpectedly closed on several occasions in the years leading up to the deadly incident, and that the machine had previously suffered a ruptured hydraulic pressure line.
