GREEN BAY, WI (AP)— Federal inspectors have levied fines against two construction companies in connection with a worker's death at Lambeau Field earlier this year.

The stadium is home to the Green Bay Packers.

WLUK-TV reports that 27-year-old Joshua Shaw died in June after he was struck by a dumbwaiter car while working inside one of the stadium's video scoreboards.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration Fined Miron Construction almost $19,000 and Mavid Construction around $15,600.

The companies have 15 business days after receiving the citations on November 15th to comply or contest the findings.
