Several investigations for the US Ministry of Labor to investigate an employee in May 2024 have found that a Meadville production company violated the federal law and that the employees had exposed to half a dozen serious security violations at the workplace.

The wage and hourly department of the department as well as occupational safety and health administration examined the manufacturers of metal components fostermation Inc. and found that a 16-year-old suffered a thumb tip of amputation while operating a metal form.

“Children's work laws were determined to protect minors from dangers in the workplace. Employers are legally responsible to ensure the security and well-being of young workers,” said Catherine Glencoe, director of the wage and hourly department, Catherine Glencoe in Charleston, West Virginia.

The OSHA conducted a complaint examination and another as part of its national focus for amputations in the manufacturing industry and identified amputation and machine fighting risks and defects in the procedure for blocking/dayout, which prevent machines from being accidentally started.

The company paid the Department of $ 50,192 of civilian fines for its violations of the regulations for child labor and $ 14,700 in an agreement with Osha to solve the six serious and other showers violations of inspectors.
