On the heels of OSHA's announcement of a new safety campaign concerning construction-related falls, news spread of an ironworker fall at 3 World Trade Center on Aug. 29.
The 36-year-old male ironworker fell Wednesday about 15 feet from a beam while erecting structural steel at the base of the building, John Gallagher, spokesman at Tishman Construction, said in an Aug. 29 statement. Tishman is the 3 WTC construction manager. The worker was alert when taken to Bellevue Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, he adds.
