How Did This Accident Occur?
It’s far too early for me to speculate about the facts here. I’ve seen landscaping accidents involving mowers overturning, trees falling, contact with powerlines, and even unavoidable medical emergencies. What can be frustrating is when OSHA investigations have as much information months later as they do just a few days after the accident. Most of the calls I get from families who lost a loved one on the job are about a lack of answers. Folks deserve to know what’s going on, but OSHA generally focuses on their own priorities—look for rule violations and issue citations. Meanwhile, families are left to navigate the most complex work fatality laws in the whole country, and that can be a serious maze without the right guidance and no clear facts about what led to the accident. If OSHA is keeping the family affected by this accident more in the loop, though, that would be good to hear.
