James Ailstock, 60James was injured on the job in February 2018 and died a day later while working for American Service Lines in Kearney, Nebraska. He was struck by a truck while working.
Linda - OSHA investigated American Service Lines. No fines rendered. Rationale: No rules for parking lots at businesses you visit was their reasoning. They did not investigate meat packing plant. They did suggest truck drivers wear reflective jackets when out of truck. (that would not have helped in his situation because the driver of pickup wasn't looking where he was backing up). This inspection is closed. |
