The workers fell some 20 feet along with freshly poured concrete, reinforcing steel, timber framework, and tools and equipment. One worker&#8217;s injuries required surgery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Significant safety lapses caused injuries that could have been much worse if the workers hadn&#8217;t landed in freshly poured concrete,&#8221; said Cal\/OSHA Chief <span class=\"xn-person\">Juliann Sum<\/span>. &#8220;Employers must identify, evaluate and correct unsafe working conditions and follow all requirements to prevent employee injuries and illnesses.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Cal\/OSHA&#8217;s investigation found that the formwork and vertical shoring system that collapsed were not properly designed, installed or inspected. Cal\/OSHA issued serious and serious accident-related citations to subcontractors Largo Concrete, Inc. and N.M.N. Construction, Inc. for <span class=\"xn-money\">$73,365<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-money\">$70,320<\/span>, respectively, for failure to ensure that the formwork and vertical shoring were designed to safely withstand all intended loads, failure to have calculations and drawings approved by a <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> registered civil engineer as required for vertical shoring over 14 feet tall, and failure to ensure the shoring supports were erected on a level and stable base. General citations were issued to general contractor <span class=\"xn-person\">Johnstone Moyer<\/span>, Inc. for <span class=\"xn-money\">$3,630<\/span> in proposed penalties. <\/p>\n<p>Cal\/OSHA addresses safety requirements for concrete construction and vertical shoring in its <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dir.ca.gov\/dosh\/dosh_publications\/ConstGuideOnline.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cal\/OSHA Pocket Guide for the Construction Industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cal\/OSHA, officially known as the Department of Industrial Relations&#8217; (DIR&#8217;s) Division of Occupational Safety and Health, helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dir.ca.gov\/dosh\/consultation.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cal\/OSHA&#8217;s Consultation Services Branch<\/a> provides free and voluntary assistance to employers to improve their safety and health programs.
