Each of the hazards cited carry fines of nearly $13,000.

Authorities say 46-year-old Dennis Hall died Dec. 6 after becoming trapped in equipment at the plant. OSHA investigators say Hall “fell through the unguarded floor hole to a moving conveyor and was transported into other mechanical hazards resulting in fatal injuries.” He’d worked for McDonald for five years and lived in Potosi, Wisconsin.

The company makes water works brass, plumbing valves, pumps and water systems, and high-pressure gas valves and meter bars.

The National Weather Service reports widespread rain across Iowa remains on track for Tuesday through Thursday, where a swath of 1 to 2 inches of rain can be expected. Thunderstorms are possible as well, resulting in locally higher amounts approaching 3 inches, especially over western portions of Iowa. In addition to the rainfall, warmer temperatures will melt a good portion of the snow pack today through Wednesday resulting in significant runoff and potential river flooding mid to late week and into the weekend. The potential for ice jams exist as the runoff, swelling rivers, and warmer temperatures look to break up the river ice and lead to some localized flash flooding.
