Two Constructions Death in less than 1 year; $53,00 fine levied Donna Puleio Spadaro, MD 2003-02-28 5:06 PM
Editorial: Two fatal falls occurred in less than 1 year at the Allegheny Energy Supply construction project. Perhaps if a more thorough investigation and a more significant fine had been issued by OSHA after the first death, instead of the inconsequential $7200 that was, maybe increased attention and diligence to safety issues may have averted the second death.
