University, fire department fined in sinkhole death
Southern Wesleyan University and the Anderson (S.C.) Fire Department have been fined following a state agency's investigation into the death last month of a university employee who fell into a sinkhole, the Associated Press reports.
South Carolina’s state Department of Labor and Licensing Regulation said Wednesday that it fined the school $3,600 for two safety violations — one for failure to report the fatality of an employee within eight hours, and one for workplace safety violations unrelated to the sinkhole.
