    Man survives 30-foot plunge By PEARCE ADAMS
    According to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, there were 15 construction-related deaths recorded in Georgia between Oct. 1, 2002 and Sept. 30, 2003. Thirty deaths were reported between Oct. 1, 2001 and Sept. 30, 2002.

    A spokesman said accidents such as Barrett's are not reviewed unless a complaint is made. He said OSHA investigators are sent to sites when three or more are hospitalized or in case of a death.
