Investigation Summary
An employee was working for a meatpacker. It slaughtered animals other than poultry. The employee's last day working at the facility was April 13, 2020. He never returned to work. OSHA held its opening conference with the employer on May 12, 2020. OSHA learned in discussions with the employer that, on April 29, 2020, the employer knew of the employee's death. Thus the employee had died no later than April 29, 2020. The employer had not reported the death, as the employer did not deem the death work-related. It was not known whether the employee had been hospitalized or had sought medical treatment. It was not known if he had a medical condition. It was not known whether he had ever been tested for the COVID-19 virus or if he was positive for COVID-19. This was an OSHA-covered fatality. There was another possible COVID-19 fatality at this site. See investigation number 126103 and inspection number 1475038.
