OSHA fines company after fatal collapse; owner to contest findings By HERB MEEKER, Mattoon Journal, IL
The OSHA citations claim that Swearingen Excavating of Mattoon lacked an adequate health/safety education program for its employees, and did not conduct proper training to help employees in the "avoidance of unsafe conditions," according to Bill Hancock, OSHA acting area director.
In addition, OSHA claims there were not enough inspections of the job site at 1716 Broadway Ave. by a competent person with knowledge of demolition hazards, and there was no engineering survey of framing, floors and walls to help avoid an unplanned collapse of the structure, Hancock added. The demolition workers were on the second floor of the structure when the collapse occurred.------------------------------------------- posted 6:42 AM :: reference link ::
