Pepsi Guam Bottling to pay $133K for exposing workers to amputation hazards

In addition, the company must correct the safety failures found during the investigation, as well as implement a comprehensive safety and health program. As part of the plan to improve Pepsi Guam Bottling’s safety culture, the company will allow inspection of the facility, form a health and safety committee, and write an official safety and health plan. The company was initially investigated in October 2022 and received citations for one willful violation, one repeat violation and six serious violations.

In a recent quote, OSHA Regional Administrator James Wulff said, “Pepsi Guam Bottling’s agreement to boost its workplace safety protocols will help protect employees and put workers on an equal footing thanks to their inclusion in a new safety and health committee. OSHA will closely monitor the terms of this settlement agreement and provide any assistance needed or required to ensure compliance.”
