For health reasons, the meat packing industry has attracted the attention of many. This was caused by safety standards in the meat packing industry. Attention was also attracted by the use of machines in the packaging process. The industry uses fast machines, so employees are exposed to greater risks of injury. The industry is primarily made up of immigrants and undocumented employees. This has attracted considerable attention due to the focus on employees who are primarily noncitizens (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010). The situation has led several labor organizations to teach employees about safety and health administration. For example, Nebraska, which is an occupational health and safety administration, worked with a Mexican consul, Jose Cuevas, to educate immigrants. The training mainly concerned workplace safety. The company, Occupational, Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA) was required to provide training and supervision to meat packing and cleaning companies (OSHA Quick take, 2010). OSHA took this move because there are no specific standards for the meatpacking industry. These standards established by OSHA have been adopted by twenty-five states, which has led other states to adopt standards applicable to the topic mobilized by OSHA. The organization has provided several directives to ensure safety in the sector. The directives aimed to regulate several aspects of the industry which included; new meat tenderizing technology in the meat industry, cutting hazards in the meat department, and acceptable circular meat cutting saws in the industry, among others. These directives aimed at safety in the sector, particularly regarding the technologies used. The o...... middle of paper...... clothing and equipment in industry. This will greatly ensure the safety of employees and therefore minimize injuries. The use of administrative control and labor practices will also lead to the production of quality products that are safe for consumption (OSHA Quick take, 2010). Brain Mass Reference List, (2010).
