The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommended Oct. 5 that a joint venture of Massman Construction, Traylor Bros, and Alberici be fined $15,300 for four serious safety violations, related to the March death of a worker on the new Mississippi River bridge being built near St. Louis. The worker, 35, was on an aerial man lift placed on a barge, considered an unstable platform, that fell into the river while he was on it. The $640-million bridge, including approach work, has a main span of 1,500 ft. Massman, Traylor and Alberici officials were not available for comment at press time. Cited by OSHA on Oct.
