State fines scaffolding company By Holly Edwards, The Tennessean
Other less-serious violations listed by the state include erecting the scaffold on rotting, wooden footings; inadequate stepping space on end frames used as a ladder to climb the scaffolding; dismantling the scaffolding without the presence of a ''competent person''; and missing cross braces on the scaffolding.
Immediately after the accident, Safway released a statement blaming contractors of other companies for removing the scaffold cross bracing and ties before the accident without their authorization.
The owner of the primary contractor working at the site, Construction Enterprises Inc., said after the accident that inexperienced workers for the scaffolding company were disassembling the scaffolding improperly.------------------------------------------- posted 6:50 AM :: reference link ::
