Foreman Is Sentenced to
Jail in Construction Worker's Death — The foreman for a construction company
who pleaded guilty to causing a Toledo worker's death was sentenced
to a year in jail and ordered to pay fines and court costs totaling
$1,160.  (Toledo Blade, October 12,
2002)
Texas
construction workers dying in record numbers: Toll is highest
among Hispanic laborers, who fill riskiest jobs, lack training
— Nearly three stories above a gray concrete floor, Ponciano
Diosdado stepped gingerly onto a narrow steel beam to do some
welding on a new office building going up in southwest Austin.
The beam began to rock, sending Mr. Diosdado scrambling for
safety. He hopped onto another only to have it twist away,
plunging the 34-year-old construction worker to the pavement
below. Construction workers across the state — a majority
of them Hispanic — are dying in numbers and at rates
higher than at any time since comparable bookkeeping began
a decade ago. — From part 1 of a 2-part series in the
Dallas Morning News, September 9 and 10, 2001
