Wisconsin Shipyards Company Working with OSHA After Worker Severely Burned
Fraser Shipyards Inc. says it’s working with a U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigation after a worker was burned last month.
The incident occurred Feb. 6 while the worker was servicing a vessel in the Duluth-Superior Harbor. The worker remains hospitalized in Duluth.
Fraser president James Farkas says the company reported the incident to OSHA and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and they are now working to understand what happened. The investigation involves a review of company policies, interviews and an on-site investigation.
