Now that all missing workers have been recovered, investigators have direct access to the site, L&I said. The agency said it will examine what happened, whether workplace safety violations occurred and what penalties, if any, should be issued. L&I said investigations must be completed within 180 days, and that it expects to use the full period because of the complexity and scale of the incident. Investigators will review safety plans, hazard assessments, training documents and other records, interview witnesses and conduct a physical inspection of the site. In an email to Business Insurance last week, Matt Ross, L&I public affairs manager, said the agency also had two unrelated, ongoing inspections open at Nippon Dynawave. One was opened in March after an anonymous complaint raised concerns about a valve on an aqua ammonia clarifier tank, which Mr. Ross said was not the tank involved in the accident. Another was opened in May after a complaint about a sinkhole created by a failed drain. Mr. Ross told Business Insurance the agency had inspected the site three other times in the past five years, citing violations unrelated to chemical process or storage safety, including fall protection and failure to wear face coverings.
