ADAMS COUNTY, Ohio (FOX19) - The Adamo Group said the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is permitting them to resume work in the recovery efforts of a missing employee at the Killen Generating Station demolition site.
Adamo Demolition Co. of Detroit, Michigan, was tearing down the former coal-fire plant on U.S. 52 near Manchester when it collapsed on Wednesday, Dec. 9.
Three workers were rescued and hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries the same day.
Last weekend, search crews found the body of Clyde “Doug” Gray.
A fifth worker, Jamie Fitzgerald, remains unaccounted for.
“Based on the observations and knowledge of our team and the first responders on site, our immediate focus is recovering our missing employee and ensuring the safety of the crews working on the recovery effort,” Adamo said in a statement.
According to Adamo, recovery is expected to be completed in mid-to-late January.
“Adamo continues to fully cooperate and take direction from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) investigation team and local officials - including providing all requested data and documentation – to safely conduct the recovery operation of Mr. Fitzgerald and to determine the cause of the incident.
