About the plant
The International Nutrition plant includes five parcels in an industrial area along Big Papio Trail.
The 18,000-square-foot facility where the accident occurred was purchased in 1997 for $1.6 million. The company's land and buildings total 135,000 square feet and are valued at $5 million. Some are owned by the firm and others by Steven Silver LLC.
Fatal accident at plant in 2002
It's not the first accident at the plant. In August 2002, a 45-year-old man died when he became caught in a moving auger conveyor, according to an OSHA report.
The company at the time was fined $13,600 by OSHA for five “serious” violations and one other violation discovered during an investigation of the accident.

in one while I was working at a grain elevator--and I had been warned about it, but forgot. You really do have to be situationally aware. That must have been a pretty gruesome death.
