I-280 project cited for safety violations By GARY T. PAKULSKI, Toledo Blade, OH
A month after four workers died at a Toledo bridge construction project last winter, federal inspectors visiting the work site said they found serious safety hazards that exposed workers to possible injury and even death.
The problems were discovered during a routine yearly inspection that was unrelated to a fatal accident at the I-280 Maumee River Crossing project on Feb. 16.
PROJECT CITATIONS
• Tripping hazards created by walkways blocked with lumber, pipes, chain, and other material
• Opening in scaffold platform not properly protected, exposing workers to a possible fall
• Proper precautions not taken to protect workers from possibility of being struck by falling building materials
• Improper precautions taken to protect workers 14 feet below from equipment and materials protruding through guardrail
• Workers exposed to possible impalement at off-site facility because protruding steel bars were not adequately guarded.------------------------------------------- posted 6:52 AM :: reference link ::
