OSHA: Florida Framer’s Death ‘Preventable’
A construction worker died after slipping and falling from a residence.
The death of a 32-year-old construction worker who died after a 19-foot-fall on the job was preventable, OSHA says.
SB Framing Services Inc., the employer of the residential framer Selvin Velasquez, did not ensure its workers had fall protection. As a result, Velasquez was killed after slipping and falling while working on a new residence.
“This tragedy was preventable,” said Condell Eastmond, director of OSHA’s Fort Lauderdale Area Office.
