OSHA Cites 4 Companies in Parking Garage Collapse By ERIC LIPTON, New York Times
Kate Dugan, an OSHA spokeswoman, started a news conference in Marlton, N.J., the agency's regional headquarters, by expressing her sympathy to the families of the men killed. 'Unfortunately, people at OSHA do see this everyday, since 16 people a day do die on the job in this country,' she said.
The federal investigators did not issue a report detailing exactly why the 10-story garage collapsed on Oct. 30 while concrete was being poured for the top parking level. But the one willful violation and eight serious violations of safety standards provide a road map of sorts to the collapse of the 2,400-space garage.
While placing interconnected mats of steel rebar - which structurally supports the floor - the workers did not anchor the rebar into the vertical columns at the garage's edge, resulting in the filing of notices of violations against Fabi and Mitchell Bar Placement. Fabi was also cited for a willful violation for the improperly installed shoring. Site Blauvelt was cited for failing to do sufficient inspections to ensure that the reinforcing steel was properly installed. Keating was cited for not making sure its subcontractors had properly installed the shoring.------------------------------------------- posted 8:15 AM :: reference link ::
