A Spencer manufacturing plant has been issued a citation and may be
fined $5000
related to the death of a former Calhoun resident Charles Clinton
Rogers, 44. The U. S.
Department of Labor (OSHA) claims Rogers fell 9 1/2 feet at Spencer
Veneer because
a deck did not have railings.
The accident happened on February 10, 2001. The report indicates there
were
problems with a log deck at the saw mill. The deck on which the
workers stand to
straighten logs did not have railings on all open sides, which exposed
the employees
to a fall.
The citation says the violation is serious and gave the company until
March 26 to
correct the problem. The Company was also cited for other less serious
alleged
violations, with no fines proposed. Spencer Veneer has until April 11
to contest the
citations.
