The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Wednesday that it cited a New Jersey frozen food company after a worker suffered an amputation injury in August 2023.
OSHA cited Robbinsville-based CJ TMI Manufacturing America LLC for four willful, one repeat and three serious violations and proposed $551,719 in penalties.
The agency did not disclose details of the amputation.
CJ TMI was inspected six times in the past five years and placed in OSHA’s Severe Violator Enforcement Program in 2021.
OSHA said in the latest citation that the company exposed workers to lockout/tagout hazards related to the inadvertent release of hazardous energy.
CJ TMI has 15 business days to contest the latest citation and proposed penalties.
