OSHA Chief: Accidents Reflect Lax Safety Culture, by Jim Malewitz
Federal regulators have slapped three construction firms with nearly $800,000 in total penalties, saying the companies "put workers in tremendous danger" in Houston-area accidents that highlighted a lax safety culture that extends across Texas. "More construction workers in Texas die on the job than in any other state," David Michaels, who heads the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), told reporters Wednesday.
