Emmitt Nelson, a former construction manager for Shell Oil who has conducted research for the Construction Industry Institute, said he's troubled that the 34 safety inspectors employed by Perini and others employed by subcontractors didn't spot and fix the safety problems before OSHA inspectors got to them.

I believe the issue at hand is that the 34 safety inspector's perini has employed,just aren't that good,to say the least.When i was both an ironworker and a safety Rep at the city center project,perini's people were never seen,unless there was an accident,they were less than versed in their own safety policy,let alone knowing the standards,bringing up any issue's with them was like pulling teeth,it was the "not in my yard so i'm not worried about it" scenario,even though it's their jobsite.They lacked in leadership skills all the way around from the top to the bottom,and the biggest thing i found were their basic disdain for the worker's,and, wanting to create animosity in the field for the worker's.
