"In this case, a tragic loss resulted from equipment that could easily have been guarded." "Establishing safety and health programs that identify and remove hazards before a worker gets injured or sick goes to the very core of providing a safe and healthful workplace," said Bill Fulcher, director of OSHA's Atlanta-East Area Office. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known. OSHA issued four serious safety violations to Pilgrim’s Pride for failing to conduct annual periodic inspections of the energy control procedures since 2005 and not providing effective machine and equipment guarding, so that workers could not enter areas of operation and be exposed to struck-by and caught-in hazards. According to OSHA investigators, the machine should have been fitted with a guard to keep employees from reaching into the machine while it was operating.
