The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited two companies for a fatal accident at a plant construction site in Chippewa Falls.Concrete contractor, Lewis Construction of Schofield, and general contractor, Cedar Falls Building Systems of Menomonie, received what OSHA calls a "serious" citation.
They claim the companies knew or should have known about the potential hazard and should have provided adequate bracing for the wall.
Kevin Kadrilick, 36, was killed when a wall collapsed at the EOG sand plant. Three co-workers were injured. The workers were on elevated walkways attached to the framework.
[i]The Chippewa Herald[/i] says the companies have 15 days to contest the citations and could face tens of thousands of dollars in fines.
