OSHA issued its findings from an investigation into a large storage building collapse owned by a Nebraska livestock microfeed manufacturer that caused two worker fatalities and nine other injuries in January. OSHA cited the facility owner with one willful, one repeat, and eleven additional safety violations for failing to protect workers from hazards associated with the structural collapse allegedly caused by the overloading of storage bins with excess limestone. The bins collapsed the roof and fell three floors. OSHA has proposed penalties of $120,560 and placed the company in the Severe Violator Enforcement Program.
