HOUSTON -- A worker was crushed Tuesday morning during an accident at an industrial plant in Baytown, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The accident happened at about 2 a.m. at the Jindal United Steel Works on East McKinney Street near James Road.

LifeFlight transported the injured worker to Memorial Hermann Hospital with injuries to his lower body.

Authorities have not released any details on the accident.

In a 40-page document from the U.S. Department of Labor, more than 100 citations for safety and health violations were listed for Jindal. The citations range from failure to correct crane hazards to serious health violations.

In October 2000, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration fined Jindal $1.7 million for 182 alleged violations.

Jindal's sister company, SAW Pipes USA, Inc., was fined $500,000 three months later by OSHA for 67 alleged willful violations for failing to document illnesses and injuries on the job.

OSHA noted the penalties against the company represents one of the largest record-keeping violations in years.

Jindal's vice president told KPRC Local 2 that it would release a statement about Tuesday's accident later in the day.
