			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Washington state Department of Labor &amp; Industries and Tacoma Goodwill have reached a settlement in the workplace death of a developmentally disabled worker. <span id="more-2111"></span></p>
<p>Tacoma Goodwill will pay $13,300 for three violations in the death of 27-year-old Nick Miller. The violations are related to the implementation of its accident prevention program, recordkeeping and the safety features of its box tipping machines.</p>
<p>The company was originally hit with nine violations for a total potential fine of $50,000.</p>
<p>A year ago, Miller was crushed under a hydraulic tipper on Goodwill&#8217;s loading dock.</p>
<p>Immediately after the accident, Goodwill made voluntary safety improvements, including placement of lock-out devices on its tipper machines.</p>
<p>There was some confusion over whether Miller, who had the cognitive abilities of a 10-year-old, was authorized to operate the tipper, according to <em><a href="http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/story/720669.html">The News Tribune</a></em>.</p>
<p>Some told officials Miller wasn&#8217;t authorized, but others said he was, a statement that was backed up by training records which said it was part of his regular duties.</p>
