Missouri Auto Parts Manufacturer Cited in Worker s Coronavirus Death

Missouri Auto Parts Manufacturer Cited in Worker’s Coronavirus Death February 24, 2021 Federal workplace safety officials have cited a Missouri-based auto parts manufacturer for failing to maintain safe workplace conditions after worker tested positive for coronavirus and subsequently died of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. Two machine operators at Grandview-based Peterson Manufacturing – operating as Maxi-Seal Harness Systems Inc. – who jointly operated a press tested positive for the coronavirus just two days apart, in late August 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The two workers typically labored for hours at a time less than two feet apart; neither wore a protective facial mask consistently. Ten days later, two more workers operating similar presses together tested positive. On Sept. 19, 2020, one of the press operators fell victim to the virus and died.
