Tennessee OSHA Opens Investigation Into Impact Plastics

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Tennessee OSHA (TOSHA) has opened an investigation into Impact Plastics, according to TOSHA.

The investigation comes after multiple media outlets, including WSMV4, reported on employees being swept away in the flash flooding in Erwin, Tennessee. TOSHA said the investigation will determine the circumstances leading to the “workplace deaths.”

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) opened an investigation into on Wednesday morning after at least two Impact Plastics employees died in the flooding.

“The current investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) into the circumstances that led to these deaths supersedes the jurisdiction of TOSHA,” said TOSHA. Investigators with TOSHA will be working with TBI and local law enforcement to determine when they can begin an on-site investigation.

 TOSHA said that state law says that employers have eight hours to notify them of workplace fatalities, but they have not received any reports from Impact Plastics.

During the investigation, TOSHA will be surveying Impact Plastics, reviewing company records and procedures, and conducting interviews with management and employees. The investigation process can take up to six months.

“To ensure the investigation’s integrity, TOSHA does not release any preliminary information regarding the incident,” said TOSHA. “When the investigation is final, the report detailing the agency’s findings is open for review by the citizens of Tennessee.”
