The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries doled out one of the largest total fines related to worker safety in the state’s history this week, following the death of two Central Washington farm workers.
Two employees of Gebbers Farm Operations died after contracting COVID-19, having reportedly caught the virus in a work environment that L&I said had intentionally flouted safety rules.
“Gebbers made it very apparent to investigators they had no intention of following the rules as written regarding temporary agricultural worker housing and transportation,” L&I Director Joel Sacks said in a news release.
