Despite 13 Citations Since 2015, Investigations Into Two Meat Cutters’ Amputation Injuries Find Fiesta Mart Again Failed to Protect Employees

Excerpt:  “Despite a history of violations and worker injuries dating back almost a decade, Fiesta Mart LLC – a Houston-based supermarket operator – continues to fail in its legal obligations to protect employees. Made apparent after federal inspections in February and May 2022 determined two butchers suffered amputation injuries due to unguarded machinery. At two of the chain’s locations, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration learned that two employees suffered fingertip amputations while using band saws to cut meat at the chain’s supermarkets on Ross Avenue in Dallas on Feb. 18, and on Parker Road in Plano on May 23.”
