A Wisconsin sawmill has agreed to pay about $191,000 and submit to multiple sanctions after a 16-year-old boy was killed on the job this past summer.
The investigation also determined that seven child employees between 14 and 17 worked outside legally permitted hours.
According to the agreement, the sawmill will pay the labor department about $191,000. In exchange for the payment, the department will lift its so-called “hot goods” restrictions on the facility. Such restrictions prohibit the sawmill from selling anything produced using illegal child labor. Florence Hardwoods also will be required to place warning stickers on all dangerous equipment and post signs visible from 10 feet away warning people that anyone under 18 isn’t allowed in the facility’s sawmill and planer mill. The facility also will have to submit to unannounced inspections.
“As a small company, employees are like family, and the death of Michael Schuls was devastating,” the statement said. “We are only able to move forward thanks to the love and support of our workforce and the community. Michael will forever be in our hearts and his family in our prayers.”
