Construction Site Violations
One example of construction sites not following proper safety procedures with disastrous results has just occurred at a Queens construction site. On Tuesday, March, 13, a 34-year-old man was killed when he was crushed against a wall by a forklift. He died at the scene of the accident.The brother-in-law of the deceased worker stated that he had been told numerous times by the worker that he was concerned to go to work because of how dangerous it was to work there. In fact, since September the jobsite had received several safety violations and stop work orders. The man is survived by his brother-in-law and two sisters who live in Jamaica, Queens.
Work Site Violations
The construction site was for a luxury high rise building by the Chetrit Group. The records show some of the violations and stop work orders included a partial stop work order on Sept 27 after a worker fell one floor down from collapsed plywood. A full stop work order was issued on December 7 for construction not conforming to plans for demolition. Two other stop work orders were issued in December and there are currently 37 open Environmental Control Board violations.
