Fall Killed Worker at University of Iowa Project
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A state investigator is saying the private contractor who died Monday while working at the University of Iowa died from a fall.
Iowa Occupational Safety and Health Enforcement officer Jens Nissen tells the Iowa City Press-Citizen on Thursday that he didn't know the distance of the fall or any other details. Forty-nine-year-old Tom Fosdick of Cedar Rapids was working for Swanson Glass, a subcontractor renovating the exterior of the UI Boyd Law Building. Iowa OSHA has begun investigating the incident for any safety violations, which a spokeswoman says is typical for a workplace death. She says the investigation could take six to eight weeks. University police responded to the accident, but haven't yet released an incident report. More Good Stuff |
