OSHA investigation of the death of the Atlanta Airport airport building

On Friday, a spokesman for the US Ministry of Labor said that Osha “initiated an investigation of circumstances in relation to deaths”.

According to the death examination report, Herrera had been a “worker” for the concrete construction company United based in the exhibition for more than a year.

The report says that it was only identified by an identification card issued by Guatemaltea and his wife and other family live in Guatemala.

In a statement, Kevin King, Vice President of the Management of United Forming, said “deeply sad that a member of the United Forming family died on July 14th at our project area at Atlanta Airport. The cause of death has currently been unknown, but it seems to have been natural causes.”

“The security of everyone at our project locations is very important to us. We carry out a thorough internal review and cooperate with Osha,” said King.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is building a massive parking deck of $ 530 million with around 7,700 rooms that are expected to be completed next summer.

According to an earlier press release, the United Forming was selected to concrete the project, which includes six levels and 2 million square foot. The company is called “one of the largest concrete structure builders in the southeast and southwest of the USA”

While the investigator of the Clayton County said in the report Death is regarded as “of course without suspicion of a foul”, a paramedic told the investigator that he could “have been violated by material on the construction site”.

Herrera was last seen alive on Monday around 7 a.m. when he arrived to work and, according to the investigation report, did not look a sick or spoke complaints.

But at 7:51 a.m., his colleagues called paramedics after he no longer reacted and “in a susceptible position” on the bottom of the sixth level of the garage with an “injury on his face that seemed to come from his collapse”.

Herrera's supervisor told the investigator that, according to his employees, “a few weeks ago asked for a transfer to a doctor, citing chest pain”, but it was not known whether he actually went.

The task of removing support rays from the ceiling was, according to the report, although he was reported on Monday morning with the cleanup and organization of ruins.

His employees made CPR for about 20 minutes until Atlanta Fire Rescue could reach him and continue the resuscitation efforts.

According to an incident report received by Atlanta Fire Rescue, the reaction of the paramedics was delayed due to scaffolding and roofers who block their way.

There was “no cardiac activity on the way or on arrival to the hospital” and, according to the investigator, he was declared dead at Grady at 8:57 a.m.

The only documented injury was a 3-inch injury on his forehead and between his eyebrows.

An airport spokesman did not immediately answer a request for a comment on the incident on Friday.
