MOSES LAKE — The Washington Department of Labor & Industries carried out an inspection at the REC Silicon facility in Moses Lake on Feb. 13.
“The inspection was a required response to a complaint received by Labor & Industries concerning various topics pertaining to the Moses Lake facility,” REC Silicon officials wrote in a statement released Sunday.
Matt Ross, a spokesman for L&I, said the inspection was initiated due to a worker complaint. Requests to REC Silicon for comment as to the nature of the complaint were not returned by press time.
Typically, inspections consist of various steps in the review process, which could include a tour of the Moses Lake facility, interviews of randomly selected employees, review of policy, procedures, and work practices, the statement said, adding that the company does not expect any negative findings. L&I has up to six months to complete the inspection, Ross said, adding that the time could be considerably shorter.
Production at the site continues and the first shipment is expected during this quarter, the statement said.
