Occupational Safety and Health Administration Issues Penalties in Miami Dade College Garage Collapse

Five contracting companies have been penalized more than $38,000 combined for a series of errors and oversights that led to last October’s collapse of Miami Dade College’s parking garage that killed four workers, federal safety regulators announced Wednesday. A worker who was injured in the collapse spoke about it Wednesday. The project’s general contractor, Ajax Building Corp., said it is witholding comment until the investigation is finished. The construction companies have about two weeks to respond to OSHA’s findings.
