Firms appeal fines in fatal 2003 collapse By WILLIAM H. SOKOLIC, Cherry Hill Courier Post, NJ
All four companies fined by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the Oct. 30, 2003 fatal collapse of the top five floors of the Tropicana garage have contested the levies and filed appeals.
Almost six months to the day after the accident, the agency concluded inadequate shoring support and incorrect installation of reinforcing steel were the primary causes of the collapse that killed four construction workers and injured 20 others. Inspections were also lax, the agency found.
Testimony collected in lawsuit By WILLIAM H. SOKOLIC, Cherry Hill Courier Post, NJ
The lawsuit does not mention a monetary figure. It claims the casino hotel, its parent, the general contractor and other companies failed to adequately reinforce floors to walls with steel, failed to maintain enough shoring or bracing until the concrete hardened, and relied on inadequate inspections.------------------------------------------- posted 7:50 AM :: reference link ::
