The U.S. Department of Labor Cites Missouri Demolition Company $23,280
U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited World Wrecking and Scrap Salvage Services Incorporated for not providing fall protection after two employees suffer fatal injuries at a demolition site in St. Louis Missouri.
The employees were cutting pipes while working from a suspended scaffold when the scaffold collapsed. OSHA inspectors found that the company failed to ensure that employees used a vertical life line and other fall protection, adequately train workers to recognize and avoid fall hazards and properly ground an electric motor used on the scaffold and conduct regular inspections of the scaffold equipment.
“Providing fall protection for employees working at heights is not optional and can prevent tragedies,” said St. Louis Area Office Director Bill McDonald.

"Over 200 employees throughout our offices are required to complete Blood borne Pathogen Certification annually. Employee availability and scheduling conflicts made it nearly impossible to schedule an onsite class. We were pleased to learn that our OSHA requirements can be satisfied online. Looking forward to the ease of use next year." Mary M., Cardinal Health
