Construction Company Owner Charged with Manslaughter Over Worker's Trench Death
Jan 9, 2018
Safety is all about going home to our families”—for more than 20 years, JMJ has prided itself on developing safety approaches across industries and cultures that result in breakthroughs in workplace performance with lasting results. Through our Incident and Injury-free safety approach, we transform companies so that they avoid losing workers to untimely accidents that could have been prevented, had only safety parameters been put in place.
For the first time, an employer in Washington is facing felony manslaughter charges following the death of a worker in an unsecured trench.
Safety risks can never be ignored in the construction industry and this unfortunately is a prime example of what should NEVER happen on a job site. JMJ prides itself on its unprecedented safety record for its global clientele, and its safety approach has saved lives of millions of workers in the oil and gas, and construction industries.
