    Stadium demolition firm fined for safety violations By Jim McKay, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
    Safety violations cited at 3 Rivers
    Pittsburgh avidly followed the progress of the stadium's demolition in February 2001, and television news coverage of the event contributed to Bianchi Trison's brush with OSHA.

    Robert Szymanski, the OSHA area director in Pittsburgh, and other OSHA staffers were alarmed when they saw an evening news program on Feb. 14 that showed a worker using a torch to cut a painted steel beam. Smoke fumes were visible and the worker wore no respirator.

    The investigation began the next day.
