BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

OSHA

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has imposed additional penalties on an Ohio rubber hose manufacturer that was cited after a worker suffered severe injuries in June 2023.

OSHA said Monday it assessed an additional $321,489 in proposed penalties against Bellefontaine-based HBD/Thermoid Inc. The company was cited in December after the incident, in which the worker was pulled into a machine.

OSHA has now cited HBD/Thermoid for a total of 14 violations — one willful, 11 serious and two other-than-serious. The company has 15 business days to contest the latest citation and proposed penalties.
