Tropicana Penalty: Problem With OSHA, the Law or Both? By Jordan Barab, Confined Space
Last week OSHA announced citations against the contractors building the Atlantic City Tropicana parking garage that collapsed last October, killing 4 workers and injuring 21 others.
Engineers who studied the event concluded that the collapse was caused by the faulty installation of concrete floors after changes were made to the design to speed the job and save money. So it was not surprising that workers and the families were upset about OSHA's paltry $98,500 fine against the main contractor, Fabi Construction. The Fabi penalty included one willful citation for the deaths of four workers. OSHA made no announcement about whether or not it would seek a criminal prosecution.------------------------------------------- posted 6:35 AM :: reference link ::
