- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has referred a case involving the death of a 17-year-old worker in a cave-in at a construction site in Shawnee, Oklahoma to the United States Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution. The victim was suffocated after a trench collapsed while he was grading crushed rock. The employer, Amis Construction Co., could face fines or imprisonment if found guilty of willfully violating OSHA standards. Further details of the case are pending Justice Department review.
