Delaware Corporation Pleads Guilty to OSHA Violation in Worker’s Death
**Columbus, OH** – A Delaware corporation with operations in Ohio has admitted guilt in a federal court located in the Southern District of Ohio for breaching an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation. The breach is associated with a fatal incident in which a pneumatic door fatally injured an employee.
Fabcon Precast LLC, operating in Grove City, Ohio, along with other locations, specializes in manufacturing precast concrete panels. Employees, known as batch operators, handle the facility’s sole concrete mixer, with concrete ejected from a pneumatic door. An exhaust valve that neutralizes the door’s pneumatic energy remained unrepaired after its handle broke.
On June 6, 2020, 20-year-old Zachary Ledbetter, a batch operator since January, was present when the discharge door failed post-operation. Unable to secure the door due to the broken valve, Ledbetter was fatally trapped when attempting to fix it. He was later hospitalized where he succumbed to his injuries five days later.
Federal regulations classify the willful disregard of an OSHA safety standard leading to an employee’s death as a class B misdemeanor, the sole federal criminal charge for such
