GREEN BAY, Wis. — Feb. 5, 2025
A Green Bay paper manufacturing facility has been fined by federal workplace safety regulators after an inspection found violations of occupational safety standards, according to federal enforcement records.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued $7,739 in proposed penalties against the Mill Division of Green Bay Packaging, a paper and packaging manufacturer headquartered in Green Bay. The enforcement action is dated Feb. 5, 2025, according to OSHA data compiled in federal violation tracking records.
The cited facility is located at 1601 N. Quincy St. in Green Bay. OSHA classified the penalties as related to workplace safety and health violations, though federal records do not publicly detail the specific hazards identified during the inspection.
Employers cited by OSHA are typically given the opportunity to correct the violations, request an informal conference with the agency, or formally contest the findings before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Green Bay Packaging operates multiple facilities across the United States and is a significant employer in northeastern Wisconsin’s manufacturing sector. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the citations or whether the penalties would be contested.
OSHA enforcement data show that many safety violations are resolved administratively and do not result in separate public announcements unless they involve fatalities, willful violations, or unusually high penalties.
Federal workplace safety officials continue to emphasize that compliance with safety standards is intended to reduce the risk of serious injury in industrial settings, particularly in manufacturing operations involving heavy equipment and industrial processes.
