Owesilisa oneminyaka engu-59 ubudala waseBridgeville uzozilelwa kule mpelasonto ngemuva kokulimala kanzima emsebenzini endaweni eseningizimu yeDelaware elungisa izinkukhu ekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba.
Amaphoyisa awazange asho igama lesisulu esibikweni sabezindaba ebesichaza ngengozi, kodwa incwadi yezidumbu eshicilelwe kuCape Gazette yaqinisekiswa ngokuzimela yiNewsday imbize ngowaseNicaragua uRene Araauz, owayeneminyaka emithathu. ubaba wengane.

I-OSHA iphinde yathola ukuthi, kwezinye izimo, izisebenzi kwakudingeka zilinde imizuzu engu-40 ukuze zisebenzise indlu yangasese, futhi izimo zesikhungo “zingabangela noma zibangele ukulimala okukhulu emzimbeni kubasebenzi” ngenxa yokunyakaza okuphindaphindiwe nokusebenza kanzima.Imboni yokucubungula izinkukhu. .
Lezi zimo zanda ngenxa yokuntuleka kwemishini efanele futhi kungaholela "ekuphazamisekeni kwe-musculoskeletal, kuhlanganise kodwa kungagcini ku-tendinitis, i-carpal tunnel syndrome, i-trigger isithupha kanye nobuhlungu behlombe," kusho i-OSHA.

U-Allen Harim uphinde wavuma ukukhokha inhlawulo engu-$13,000 - ingxenye yesithathu yalokho okwakuhlongozwa ekuqaleni. Lesi sinxephezelo sihlanganisa nokuvuma ukungabi nacala emacaleni ashiwo esicashunweni se-OSHA.
Omele u-Alan Harim akazange aphendule esicelweni sokuphawula.Abamele inyunyana banqabile ukuphawula.
Umkhulumeli wezinkukhu eDelmarva uJames Fisher uthe "ukuphepha kwabasebenzi kubaluleke kakhulu embonini yenkukhu" wathi imboni inamazinga aphansi okulimala nokugula kunezinye izimboni zezolimo.
Ngokusho koMnyango Wezabasebenzi wase-US, kusukela ngo-2014 kuya ku-2016, imboni yenkukhu ezweni lonke ibike cishe ukulimala kwe-8,000 ngonyaka, ukwanda kancane kwenani lokulimala kodwa ukwehla kancane kwenani labantu abagulayo.
Izinga lokugula nokulimala kwabantu abangu-4.2 kubasebenzi abayi-100 ngo-2016 linyuke ngamaphesenti angama-82 ukusuka ku-1994, kusho uFisher. IKomidi, elakhiwe ngabameleli bamanye amakomiti emboni yezinkukhu, ngokuqashelwa kwabo okusekelwe kwizibalo zokulimala kanye nokunye 'Irekhodi Lokuphepha Okuthuthukisiwe Lasemsebenzini'.
U-Allen Harim, owake wafakwa ohlwini yiNewsday njengomkhiqizi wezinkukhu wama-21 ngobukhulu e-United States, uqashe cishe izisebenzi eziyi-1,500 embonini yayo i-Harbeson.Ngokwemboni Yezinkukhu yaseDelmarva, bekunabasebenzi bezinkukhu abangaphezu kuka-18,000 esifundeni ngo-2017.
I-OSHA ikhombe inkampani phambilini ngokuhluleka ukubika kahle ukulimala esikhungweni sayo saseHarbeson.
Nakuba ukufa kwangomhla ka-Oct. 5 kuwukuphela kwengozi ebulalayo eyabikwa eminyakeni yamuva ehlobene nesitshalo sezinkukhu saseDelaware, izisebenzi zazisengozini endaweni yezimboni lapho izigidi zezinkukhu zahlatshwa, zahlukaniswa ngamathambo, zasikwa futhi zapakishwa amabele enkukhu namathanga ukuze izoso. ehlezi eshalofini lesitolo esiqandisiwe.

Ezinyangeni eziyisishiyagalombili kamuva, amagilavu ​​omsebenzi wesinye isisebenzi abhajwa emshinini othile, echoboza iminwe emithathu.Lokho kulimala kwaholela ekubeni indandatho neminwe ephakathi yesisebenzi inqanyulwe equlwini lokuqala futhi ikhishwe ichopho lomunwe wokukhomba.
UJoe Forsthoffer, umqondisi wezokuxhumana ePerdue, uthe ukulimala kuhlobene nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi "i-lockout" noma "i-tagout" inqubo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi imishini ivaliwe ngaphambi kokuba noma yimuphi umsebenzi wokulungisa noma wokuthuthwa kwendle uqale. Uthe inkampani isebenza nengxenye yesithathu. ingxenye yokubuyekeza inqubo njengengxenye yesinqumo se-OSHA sokuphulwa komthetho.
"Sihlala sihlola futhi sihlola izinqubo zokuphepha zasembonini yethu ukuze siqhubeke sithuthukisa ukuphepha emsebenzini," esho ku-imeyili."Isikhungo sethu saseMilford njengamanje sinamahora okukhiqiza aphephile angaphezu kwesigidi, iGeorge Town inamahora okukhiqiza aphephile acishe abe yizigidi ezi-5, kanye ne-OSHA. izinga lezingozi liphansi kakhulu kunelo lonke imboni yokukhiqiza.”
Le nkampani ibhekane nenhlawulo engaphansi kuka-$100,000 kusukela ekuphuleni kwayo okokuqala ngo-2009, eyaqoshwa amaphoyisa e-OSHA ehlola isizindalwazi esiku-inthanethi, futhi ikhokhele ingxenye encane yalokho ngokuhlala ngokusemthethweni nangemijondolo.
