The (name of US State) Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (IOSHA) has confirmed it has opened an investigation into
a death earlier this month at an aluminium factory.
No foul play was suspected in the death of a worker
according to a press release issued late one day during the week of June 23,
2019 from local Police Department Captain.
Police were called to the scene in early June 2019 to
an aluminium company. The worker was found to be already deceased when police
arrived.
The local Detective worked with the County Coroner to
investigate the death. Drugs and alcohol were not considered a factor,
according to a statement issued late one day June 23, 2019 by the local police
captain.
A local newspaper request for additional information
from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was referred to OSHA,
and was answered late one day.
“We can confirm that OSHA did receive a report of a
workplace fatality at the facility,” stated a person with the safety
organizaion. “OSHA has opened an inspection.”
The employee had worked at the aluminium company as
a furnace operator for the past nine months prior to his death.
A request sent to aluminium company requesting
additional information has not been returned as of press time.
This story will be updated as more information
becomes available.
