The agency initiated an inspection in March after receiving a complaint alleging unsafe working conditions at the company which manufactures brackets and parts for the automotive industry.<\/p>\n<p><b>Investigation findings:<\/b> Investigators cited 11 serious violations at the Ohio facility.<\/p>\n<p>Violations included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exposing workers to operating parts of machinery by failing to install safety mechanisms<\/li>\n<li>Lack of procedures to ensure equipment was de-energized to prevent it from operating during service and maintenance such as the changing of dies<\/li>\n<li>Personal protective equipment such as arc-rated clothing and voltage rated gloves as well as face protection not provided<\/li>\n<li>Hooks and wire ropes were not inspected as required.<\/li>\n<li>Employees were not trained about the hazardous chemicals used in the workplace.<\/li>\n<li>The company lacked a hearing conservation program and failed to implement engineering controls to reduce noise exposure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Lack of safety mechanisms on machines continues to be among the most frequently cited OSHA violations and that is unacceptable,&#8221; said Howard Eberts, OSHA&#8217;s area director in Cleveland. &#8220;Each year thousands of workers suffer injuries and illness that can affect their ability to earn a living.
