Bronx Man Dies In Construction Accident

There is always construction occurring in New York City and the construction industry has no shortage of dangers when it comes to those who work in the industry. For this reason there are many safety regulations and procedures put in place. While many companies adhere to the guidelines put in place to assure their workers are as safe as possible, there are many that do not. This often leads to devastating accidents. Such is the case for one Bronx man who was working at a Queens construction site.

Forklift Accident

On a Tuesday morning in March, a 34-year-old construction worker lost his life in a construction accident involving a forklift. The worker was riding on top of the vehicle that was transporting a bundle of windows when the driver put it in reverse. The forklift ended up in an accident crushing the worker in between the construction vehicle and a wall. The man died at the scene.

Violations And Fear

The construction site where the accident took place has five open Environmental Control Board violations. There had been several stop-work orders issues previously and some that were still in effect. Workers are still allowed to store materials at a site that has an active stop-work order.

Sadly, the deceased worker had expressed concern and fear over working at this site to his brother-in-law because of the poor working conditions and lack of safety. He had stated that he was afraid he was going to die.
