Federal safety regulators have fined a construction company for the death of a worker at a Fayetteville, Ark., apartment complex.
The Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration fined Business Construction Services LLC $7,600 over the death in May of 20-year-old Brannon M. Rhine.
Fayetteville television station KHOG reports Rhine was working at the Vue Apartments and was helping to dig a ditch for underground lines. The ditch collapsed and buried him.
Officials say Rhine was dead before rescue crews arrived.
In June, another worker died at the site when he came into contact with a power line, and a second worker was injured in the incident. There was also an unrelated fuel spill at the construction site.
