Farm News: OSHA Investigating Meatpacking Death

comments

Posted: 12.10.2011

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating after a worker died in an electrical accident at a western Wisconsin meatpacking plant.
Monroe County Sheriff Pete Quirin says the accident happened just before 10 a.m. Friday at the VPP plant in Norwalk.

Quirin says the man was taken by ambulance to a Sparta hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The victim's name is being withheld until relatives are
notified.

Details of the accident were not released. A company representative did not immediately return a phone call for comment Friday.

OSHA and the sheriff's office are both investigating the accident.
