The federal investigation into a fatal workplace accident in Auburn last Fall is complete.
An employee of Fabsite Industries died on Nov. 1 while using a STIHL Cut-Off Saw to cut granite curbs at the Cayuga Museum of History & Art. According to the OSHA investigation, the saw kicked back, causing fatal neck and chest injuries to the unidentified worker.
