The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the July deaths of two subcontractor employees in separate fatal incidents at construction sites for Amazon distribution facilities in the Philadelphia area.
The giant online retailer has had a major building program underway in the Philadelphia region since last year, said the Philadelphia Inquirer in April. Pennsylvania also is ranked eighth among states in total Amazon investment in infrastructure and staffing since 2010, according to a study the company released last month.
