Violations cited in bridge work By Jill Tucker, Tri-Valley Herald, CA
Welders working on the new Bay Bridge span were exposed for nearly a year to excessive levels of dangerous fumes -- a condition the project's contractors apparently knew about and yet failed to either notify workers or correct the problem -- state workplace safety inspectors found.
During a nearly two-month inspection ending May 28, the California Department of Industrial Relations found serious health and safety violations including 10 months of worker exposure to manganese, welding and particulate fumes exceeding federal standards.
The workers affected were caisson welders involved in the pile driving operation by contractor KFM Joint Venture.------------------------------------------- posted 7:51 AM :: reference link ::
