It’s not unusual for an OSHA statement to have so few details publicly available. Folks might think there would be more information this long after an accident, but OSHA doesn’t exactly prioritize informing the public or even getting answers for a worker’s loved ones. Their priorities are finding violations and issuing appropriate penalties.
Meanwhile, families are left to navigate the most complex work fatality laws in the whole country. That’s why a lot of them end up needing independent investigators getting answers for them. Otherwise, they might be left waiting for 6 to 18 months for answers to questions they have right now. Hopefully steps have been taken with this accident to ensure the victim’s loved ones are getting those answers.
