OSHA says a worker at the Larson Grain Co.’s facility in Fredonia suffered multiple cuts in an April incident involving an auger. The 36-year-old worker had to be hospitalized.

OSHA is proposing $104,300 in fines for six willful and eight serious violations of federal safety standards. The company has about 15 days to decide whether to contest the agency’s findings.
