The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) stated on Dec. 13 that it will investigate the partial collapse of an Amazon distribution center in tornado-ravaged Edwardsville, Illinois, over the weekend.

“OSHA has six months to complete its investigation, issue citations, and propose monetary penalties if violations of workplace safety and or health regulations are found. No further information will be available until OSHA has completed their investigation,” Department of Labor spokesman Scott Allen said in a statement. The Labor Department oversees OSHA.
