Roofer dies in fall at school By ROBERT STERN, Trenton Times, NJ
Sixteen people die daily in the United States in workplace-related incidents, she said.
Scaffolding falls and construction generally are the most frequently cited violations of OSHA standards.
'Construction, of course, is inherently dangerous,' Dugan said.
Falls were the cause of 16 of the 129 workplace fatalities in New Jersey in 2002, the most recent year for which OSHA has statewide data, she said.
Last year, OSHA's office for the South Jersey region, which includes Trenton, conducted 17 fatality inspections, 10 of which were construction deaths.
So far this year, the same office has completed at least 10 fatality inspections, five of which were in construction, Dugan said.------------------------------------------- posted 6:59 AM :: reference link ::
