A federal judge Tuesday levied more than $400,000 in penalties against a Helena business over safety regulation violations that resulted in the 2017 death of an Alabaster woman.

U.S. District Judge Annemarie Carney Axon passed the sentence on ABC Polymer Industries following the company’s guilty plea earlier this month.

ABC Polymer will pay $242,928 in restitution to the family of the deceased worker, a fine of $167,928, and ordered the company to serve two years on probation under conditions of a safety compliance plan.

The case has already resulted in $3 million in damages last year, as well as $200,000 in fines.

Alabaster resident Catalina Estillado, also known as Eva Saenz, died Aug. 16, 2017 at ABC Polymer Industries in Helena when her hand got caught in a machine’s rollers.

According to court documents, ABC Polymer’s machinery pulled flat plastic sheets through a series of rollers arranged in clusters, before cutting them into plastic threads or tapes.

Investigators said the machine at issue in the case was equipped with a “cage,” or barrier guard, that could be pulled down over one of the exposed sides of the rollers. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards require moving machinery such as this to be guarded while the machine is energized.

Prosecutors contended that ABC Polymer was aware that employees routinely raised the guard to cut tangled plastic off the rollers, and the company trained its employees in how to cut the plastic off the unguarded rollers. According to prosecutors, ABC Polymer admitted that it knew, or should have known, that doing so violated the law and endangered its employees.
