Greenwich Time - On-job injuries surging in area: The number of serious workplace accidents in southwest Connecticut, including the recent death of a construction contractor in Old Greenwich, appears to be unusually high this year, said the area director for the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration."
Oregon - State OSHA will investigate cannon death The blast that killed an Aumsville teenager is considered a workplace accident.
The state office of the Occupational Safety and Health Division is investigating what caused a cannon to blow apart and kill a 16-year-old Aumsville boy at Camp Meriwether.
Christopher Kroker was employed as a counselor at the camp near Tillamook, so the death qualifies as a workplace accident.
Construction worker listed critical after fall: The accident marked the second time this year that a worker has fallen down a shaft at the City Center site, at Main Street and Mamaroneck Avenue. In March, Alvin Burgos of Yonkers was injured when he fell from the 16th to the 13th floor of a 35-story apartment tower under construction at 222 Main St. after removing wooden support beams from an elevator shaft. Burgos' fall was broken by plywood on the 13th floor. Earlier, a worker was injured when he stepped into a hole and hurt his leg; in another incident, a worker was hit by a pipe.
On June 17, 2002, Richard Ellis of Thornwood, a 40-year-old worker, was killed after a bundle of concrete reinforcing bars fell more than 50 feet and crushed him at a hotel-apartment construction site at Bank and Main streets in White Plains. Another worker was hurt.
Real estate news and tips for consumers- Avoid falling down on the job Stay safe with toe boards, safety harnesses
Falls constitute one of the largest areas of injuries on construction sites. Working on roofs, high scaffolds, lift equipment or other areas where you're elevated well above ground level presents an ever-present hazard for professional and homeowner alike.------------------------------------------- posted 6:51 AM :: reference link ::
