Online auto news website Jalopnik reported on Thursday that the latest investigation follows a complaint from one of the automaker’s employees at the plant.
Cal-OSHA spokeswoman Erika Monterroza the first investigation opened on April 12 following a serious injury to a millwright employed by Automatic Systems Inc.
The second investigation was launched on April 17, a day after news website Reveal said that Tesla’s omissions in legally mandated reports made its safety record appear better than it was.
A Tesla spokesperson declined to comment.
