While replacing the belt’s motor, and without deenergizing other machines in use, a hot wire on the ground became energized and the sheeter machine operator touched the metal, fatally electrocuting him, according to the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration. OSHA cited the company for a similar violation in June 2022 at its Burlington, New Jersey, facility, the agency said., and not providing clear access in front of a 480-volt breaker panel nor training on electrical safe work practices.
