SHELBYVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A central Indiana glass factory hit last year by a record $453,000 fine after a worker was fatally crushed in machinery is facing another big workplace safety fine.
The Shelbyville News reports state officials issued a $230,000 fine Monday against Pilkington North America for an improperly installed laser safety system that should have locked down a machine which crushed and injured a worker in October.
Pilkington now faces a total of $833,000 in state sanctions in the past year against its Shelbyville automotive glass plant.
Indiana fined the company $150,000 last spring and a record $453,000 in August for safety violations not corrected after a worker was crushed to death in 2010.
State Department of Labor spokesman Bob Dittmer says Pilkington is seeking to appeal the latest fine.
