PART 2 OSHA Inspection Meadville Redi-Mix

Back


Gary Puleio, , a cement truck driver was killed at Meadville Redi-Mix Concrete on 8/15/2001 after falling from a concrete tower. OSHA accepted the implausible excuse offered by Redi-Mix that Gary just "wandered up there on his own" at the end of the driving shift rather than, as a new employee, being assigned the dangerous task of cleaning the tower without any safety equipment. This short video made by 1 inspector alone using a portable camera was all that was deemed necessary despite the fact that Redi-Mix had been cited for numerous serious violations only months before Gary was killed. Years passed before this facility was inspected again. The company paid a $6000 fine for REPEAT violations and accepted no wrongdoing.
