We recently received a PIA request for Any investigative/incident reports concerning on the job deaths reported in the State of Maryland between January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023. I would like to request clarification of this request. Are you asking for work related fatalities where an inspection was conducted, or are you looking for all fatalities reported to MOSH (i.e. are you wanting information that turned out not to be work-related like heart attacks and motor vehicle accidents where no inspection was conducted)?

This type of request is going to take considerable time and there maybe a fee involved due to the amount of background investigative efforts. Once further clarification is received, we can than advise of the fee and proceed with this request. Please send reply to mosh.mpia@maryland.gov.

Thank you

Victoria Flowers

From: Wesley Lowery

I was hoping for all cases that turned out to be on the job fatalities

From: Maryland Occupational Safety And Health (mosh) - Division Of Labor And Industry

Good Morning.

I am presently looking into your request. Since this is a voluminous
request, there is going to be a fee associated. Once that fee has been
determined, I will advise and we can proceed to the next steps of your
request.

Thank you

Victoria Flowers
