OSHA fines builder $280,000 for fatal I-280 crane collapse John Seewer, AP, Cleveland Plain Dealer
Toledo- A company building an interstate highway bridge over the Maumee River failed to properly secure a 1,000-ton crane that collapsed and killed four workers in February, federal safety investigators said Friday.
U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration officials announced $280,000 in fines - the maximum allowed - against the bridge's primary contractor, Fru-Con Construction Corp., saying it had violated four workplace safety standards.
Those violations included failing to comply with the manufacturer's instructions for the safe operation of cranes.
OSHA termed the violations "willful," meaning that the company knew of the problem and did nothing to correct it, said Jule Jones, the agency's director for northwest Ohio.------------------------------------------- posted 9:46 AM :: reference link ::
