The agency revealed that several orders/requirements of the workplace have been issued after the visits but did not comment on specifics since the investigation has not yet been completed.

A GoFundMe page has been set up for the deceased, Collin Grayley, by friends, family, and members of the United Steel Workers Union Local 7135.

“Collin worked in the paint department and he was loved and respected by everyone who knew him,” the page said.
