 OSHA says the tragic death of an Ohio worker by molten steel could have been avoided. In January, 33-year-old Jawalin Patterson was killed when molten steel was poured on him in a mold pit at Elwood Engineered Castings in Hubbard Township. OSHA says the company did not have plans in place for workers to exit the mold pit safely in the event of an emergency and failed to train employees on the hazards of working in the pit. OSHA has cited the company for 11 serious violations and has proposed more than $145,000 in penalties.
