April mailroom drug-exposure incident and OSHA follow-up at FCI Thomson
Other April 16, 2025 · FCI Thomson

A hospital evaluation after a suspected exposure is not the same thing as proof that every worker received a toxic dose. The later OSHA findings are the more useful part: they speak to the actual workplace controls.
