Mar-Jac Poultry has facilities in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.
FILE - A sign stands outside the U.S. Department of Labor's headquarters, May 6, 2020, in Washington. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration found numerous safety violations in its investigation of the July 2023 workplace accident that caused the death of Duvan Pérez, a Guatemalan teenager who had been a contract worker at the Mar-Jac Poultry plant in Hattiesburg, Miss., the agency said in a news release on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024.
“Tragically, a teenage boy died needlessly before Mar-Jac Poultry took required steps to protect its workers,” said OSHA Regional Administrator Kurt Petermeyer in Atlanta. “This settlement demands the company commit to a safer workplace environment and take tangible actions to protect their employees from well-known hazards. Enhanced supervision and increased training can go a long way toward minimizing risks faced by workers in meat processing facilities.
