Trench Collapse
OSHA is investigating the trench collapse at a construction site in Clifton Park, New York where one worker was killed. The construction accident has lawyers from Trolman, Glaser and Lichtman talking about the value of safety regulations on the job site.
I agree with Edward Jerome, the area’s director of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration, that there are specific regulations regarding "sloping and shoring a trench to prevent collapses." The rules are there, they must be followed. Furthermore, it demonstrates a failure to adhere to the mandates of the labor law of the state of New York.
