The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has proposed a $5,000 fine for a West Fargo, North Dakota wind tower manufacturing plant where a worker was killed.
OSHA area director Bruce Beelman said the fine is for a materials handling violation at DMI Industries Incorporated.
Company officials said 37-year-old Jeffrey Mousseau of Fargo was on one side of a trailer being loaded with scrap metal by an overhead bridge crane when he was struck and killed on October 2.
DMI is a subsidiary of Otter Tail Corp., based in Fargo and Fergus Falls, Minn. It also has plants in Oklahoma and Ontario, and makes equipment for a variety of other industries, including agricultural processing, ethanol production, and oil and gas extraction.
