The death of a 37-year old worker in a crane accident on a Florida highway project last fall could have been prevented if crane safety protocols had been followed, the U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration said April 23 in citing two project subcontractors.
The Orange County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the worker who was killed as Ryan Haynes, who was working as a project manager for Concrete Impressions of Florida. A native of Radford, Va., he also served for nine years in the U.S. Army before joining the construction industry, said an obituary posted by the Radford News Journal.
