Adonel Block Manufacturing Corp. — Worker Killed in Concrete Block Machine (2025–2026)

Outcome: A worker entered an unprotected area of a concrete block cubing machine at a Miami facility in July 2025 and died; OSHA cited nine serious violations including machine guarding, lockout/tagout, and electrical panel deficiencies, proposing $58,604 in penalties.

A worker employed at Adonel Concrete Corp.'s Miami concrete block manufacturing facility, operating as Adonel Block Manufacturing Corp., died in July 2025 after entering an unguarded area of a concrete block cubing machine while the machine was in operation. OSHA's investigation revealed broad safety deficiencies across the facility.

The nine serious violations cited by OSHA included: inadequate machine guarding that failed to prevent access to dangerous machine areas; failure to implement lockout/tagout energy control procedures that would require machines to be de-energized and secured before any worker could access them; electrical panels that were unmarked and had non-operational locking mechanisms; an inadequate hearing conservation program for the high-noise manufacturing environment; and failure to incorporate silica dust hazards into the facility's hazard communication program.

OSHA proposed a penalty of $58,604.
