Bridge builder seeks to avoid courtroom trial By ROBIN ERB, Toledo Blade, OH
The general contractor cited for workplace violations on the new I-280 bridge - the site of four worker deaths in February - is apparently trying to work out a settlement with a federal attorney before the case reaches a courtroom.
It also appears that the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is receptive.
'OSHA doesn't exist to punish people. OSHA exists to make the workplace safe,' said Brad Mitchell, an OSHA spokesman in its regional office in Chicago. 'By settling these things, we're really advancing safety and health.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:33 AM :: reference link ::
