Safety In USA...Not so bad

With all the articles that I have been reading regarding our own safety in our work force, we have to step back and wonder how so many companies can slip through the cracks,  considering that we have organizations that keep our work force safe and the owners accountable for providing a safe environment for the people that work for them.

I found the following article about the from philadelphia regarding some horror stories in the construction industry.


Council Hears Construction, Job Safety Horrors
"Council's Committee on Labor and Civil Service held hearings on
construction worker safety. Councilman Juan Ramos introduced the
resolution authorizing the hearings.
Ramos asked for the committee
session after the death of Fabi Construction worker Jeff Martin, who
fell from the fifth floor of the Symphony House Condo construction site
on Broad Street less than a month ago. Fellow workers reportedly found
him impaled on a second floor steel rod."

I'll let you be the judge.
