An ice cream manufacturer has been fined, again, after a worker lost his fingers in a Lakewood company machine, authorities said.
The mechanic apparently was repairing an ice cream wrapper when he was seriously injured.
The mishap last September at Fieldbrook Foods plant marked the second time since 2018 that a Lakewood worker lost fingers in the same machine, federal OSHA officials said on Monday.
“Fieldbrook Foods knew that machines must be completely disabled before workers perform service and maintenance, Paula Dixon-Roderick, area director of OSHA s Marlton office, said. Instead of addressing the cited amputation hazards which led to two serious injuries, the company continues to expose its workers to dangerous machinery.”
