NOX US LLC
Fostoria, Ohio
150 employees
A new employee, just six weeks on the job, was clearing a jam when his machine suddenly activated.
His entire body was wrapped around the spindle and he was critically injured. He needed emergency
surgery for multiple injuries.
OSHA cited NOX for:
- Failure to train workers on identifying machine hazards
- Failure to train workers on lockout/tagout procedures
- Lack of PPE compliance
- Repeated machine hazards during multiple past inspections
NOX received penalties of $1,232,705
This case is a stark reminder that hiring new workers without providing them with skills-based
training exposes you to catastrophic risk and seven-figure penalties.
Instructor:
- Ensures new hires are trained before touching equipment
- Captures video proof of proper machine isolation and hazard recognition
- Standardizes training across roles to prevent “tribal knowledge gaps”
