    Newspaper: Construction company cited repeatedly for accidents, deaths San Francisco Chronicle
    The newspaper cited records detailing how the company resisted investigations by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Records showed that when accidents occurred, Mountain Cascade refused to cooperate with investigators, closed sites and tried to convince Cal-OSHA to back away from investigations.

    'We are very aware of their safety history, and it is not good,' said Dean Fryer, a Cal-OSHA spokesman. 'This company has past fatalities and some egregious violations.'
