Safety on the I-280 Truss Job WTVG, OH
A story in the Blade Sunday may have outlined why it happened. Due to understaffing problems at OSHA, the federal agency reportedly relies quite heavily on businesses to adhere to federal regulations, without always doing the follow-up work necessary. That leaves workers to trust that original flaws in the project were corrected.
Where from here? I repeat my message of August 2. Do not allow anyone or any company that contributed to these accidents back on this job. Human safety is more important than the almighty buck. OSHA, get to the truth of these failures. No further start-ups until everyone involved knows why the incidents occurred and who is reponsible. Otherwise, it's just not right.------------------------------------------- posted 6:45 AM :: reference link ::
