OSHA helps hold workplace deaths in check BY MURIEL TAN, Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, GA
In the last two months, two area men have died as a result of workplace accidents in Columbus.
In May, Andrew Davis, a 25-year-old technician working at an electric motor supplies company, was killed after he was electrocuted while holding a pair of probes in his hands. Last Wednesday, 61-year-old Rayford Brooks died after a steel spring on a hydraulic press came apart, releasing 4,500 pounds of pressure.
Workplace deaths like these -- both of which have been ruled accidental -- occur in Columbus only a handful of times a year, said Muscogee County Coroner James Dunnavant. Around the state, the numbers hover near 200 a year, according to data from the Atlanta offices of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.------------------------------------------- posted 6:40 AM :: reference link ::
