Occupational Safety & Health Administration fined MillerCoors Fort Worth brewery $77,000 after a worker’s finger was amputated.
OSHA investigators found lathes in the brewery’s maintenance shop lacked safeguards that could have prevented the amputation.
“MillerCoors completely disregarded the safety of the workers who operate machinery to maintain the equipment in the facility,” said Jack A. Rector, OSHA Fort Worth Area Director. “This employer owes it to the many, many consumers who purchase the Miller Brewery’s products to do what was necessary to protect the employees who work hard to produce it from workplace hazards.”
