OSHA investigating after Hendersonville wall collapse leaves 1 dead, others injured
HENDERSONVILLE, North Carolina (WLOS) OSHA is investigating after a 12-foot concrete retaining wall collapsed Wednesday morning in Hendersonville, killing one man and injuring four others.
The wall collapse happened near Hajoca Corporation, a plumbing supply, kitchen and bath showroom, as a crew of workers for an independent contractor were doing repair work at the base of the retaining wall.
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 13, the Office of Henderson County Attorney Charles Burrell said the County Inspections Department did not receive an application for a permit for the project from the contracting company, which would have been required for this type of project design.
