Thomas Moverman of LipsigLawyers.com has recently detailed the need for safety reforms for construction workers following the death of a long-term Washington construction worker. The victim slipped and fell to his death from an apartment building. Attorney Moverman indicated that his heart goes out to the victim and his family. He also noted that this issue has increased in prevalence on a year to year basis and reforms and regulations must be considered.
The victim was an employee of Fairweather Masonry and was on site at an apartment building project located at 7th Avenue and Gilman Boulevard. Fairweather Masonry was a subcontractor on the project and was hired by Anderson Construction for masonry and brickwork. There is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Issaquah Police Department in conjunction with assistance from investigators from Labor and Statistics. Local reports indicate that the most recent inspection prior to the May 17th incident occurred in early March. However, in 2012 a complaint against Anderson Construction was filed in Auburn that specified that the company did not ensure walk-around safety inspections.
CoshNetwork.org (National Council for Occupational Safety & Health) indicated that there are nearly 700 deaths per year that could be prevented by limiting Silica exposure alone. They also emphasize that no dollar figure can measure the immense cost in human suffering to workers and their family members, friends and colleagues when they are hurt or killed as a result of workplace accidents. OSHA( Occupational Safety & Health Association) which is the agency responsible for inspecting workplaces has extremely limited resources, signified through the statistic that 1 inspector is responsible for the lives of nearly 59,000 workers.
