.@OSHA_DOL is investigating the incident at Fieldale Farms in Murrayville, Georgia. The company president, Tom Hensley, told local news, “We're devastated by his death."

When I interviewed Hensley about a previous fatal accident at the same plant, he dismissed OSHA’s findings.

Despite this plant’s safety record, it received permission from the Trump administration to speed up its lines, which experts say exposes workers to additional dangers.
The widow of the worker who died in the previous accident said that’s unacceptable.
