lvgirl: you want a better representative for the men and women in the construction trade other than my dad, he has never denied that he was a business owner and has had fines brought forth on him. However he has seen how corrupt the system is and is now speaking out to change the system and to save lives. Unlike everyone else in this whole ordeal he is not afraid to speak out and show his face and not hide behind a screen name like yourself. Felicity Lemmon George Cole's daughter

To firedawg2000: My Uncle was working on a working floor at the City Center project. Let me inform you on the OSHA laws since you are not clear on them.....When you have a working floor on a construction site, which the floor was that my Uncle was on, you are NOT required to tie off there's no reason to. Because there are not suppose to be any exposed holes in the decking. Therefor if the decking had not been pulled back my Uncle would have never fallen and also since someone or some company pulled the decking back and exposed a hole in the floor there should have been a barrier around the hole to prevent people working on this working floor from falling through like my Uncle did. My dad was not saying that all who fall from 30ft will live he said I know a man who fell 30ft and is alive today!!!! Thats the problem with these jobsites no one knows the laws for their own safety sake how very sad.

How noble of the MGM Mirage to finally speak. Again you can not enforce safety when Perini is being over looked by OSHA. Everyone knows this is going on. Stop pretending that you are trying to fix this problem when the problem lies with OSHA and Perini. Make an examples out of Perini as well as the "little" guys then maybe you will save lives.

Now that OSHA has decided to "Save Face" what about the prior deaths, where is their Justice. OSHA needs to re-evaluate their findings on those deaths, open up those cases again and give all of us and our loved ones the JUSTICE we deserve!!!!!!!

How can OSHA enforce violations and fines with the county, over stupid petty stuff, but yet turn a blind eye to places who really need the citations and fines. Jobsites are in desperate need for the attention you give to the people who need it the least. I guess the men and women who loose their lives are not as important to what is stored in county lockers. OSHA, do these county offices get to negotiate the fines like the contactors do or do they not fill your pockets enough for that?
