| OSHA SAVES LIVES Employees Removed from Excavation Site Minutes Before Collapse OSHA's role in the life of the American worker was exhibited once again when, at 10 a.m. on the morning of June 6, 2006 in Brooklyn, N.Y., OSHA compliance safety and health officer Bob Stewart requested that six construction employees be removed from a 22-foot deep excavation due to the hazardous 10-ton concrete abutment hanging above it. Fifteen minutes later, the overhang collapsed and fell, landing in the exact spot in which the employees had been working. Stewart is a safety specialist assigned to OSHA's Manhattan Area Office in New York. |
