A worker was killed at the Nucor-Yamato beam plant in Blytheville, Arkansas Saturday while doing maintenance work on a roll mill stand.
Jon Bishop, 34, had worked at the facility for two years. The mill temporarily suspended operations after the accident, and the death is still under investigation by OSHA. The company issued the following statement:
“On behalf of all our Nucor-Yamato teammates, I want to express my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Jon Bishop. We are deeply saddened by this event.”
