People generally think that an OSHA investigation is the beginning and end of a fatal workplace accident. In reality, they rarely do anything beyond the narrow bounds of what OSHA pays attention to. Meanwhile, Texas has the most challenging work fatality laws in the whole country. That means families may be left to navigate that maze on their own if steps aren’t taken beyond just waiting for the OSHA investigations.
More often, there needs to be an independent investigation into the incident and what options are available to the family to get the resolution they deserve. A good place to start is to make sure the family has a complete understanding of what led to the accident, and it’s unclear right now if authorities did anything behind the scenes to provide answers.
