    Bridge welders' complaints fell through cracks By Jill Tucker, San Mateo County Times, CA
    Meanwhile, Cal-OSHA inspectors have been on the new eastern span job site every week or two for nearly a year but apparently never asked, looked or climbed down holes to see what equipment the workers were using.

    'The guys were on the site throughout, but did they ever specifically look at this complaint? No, I don't think so,' Fryer said.

    'Would it have been diligent for us to go and take a look? Yeah, I would say most likely. Did we? No.'
