What A Way To Die

From the NBC4 News Site:


A construction worker was struck and killed by an asphalt roller Saturday in Fairfax County.

Edgar Tobar, 40, of Woodbridge, was standing near a roadway at a construction site when another employee lost control of the roller, which "ran over" Tobar, according to Fairfax County Police.

Tobar was transported to a local hospital in life-threatening condition. He later died.

No criminal charges will be filed, according to police. Occupational Health and Safety Administration will investigate the incident.

"No criminal charges will be filed, according to police. Occupational Health and Safety Administration will investigate the incident."

Very badly worded at best. Closer to mis-information.

OSHA regulations are criminal and violations and negligence are criminal statues and can be tried in the courts and jail time issued if they want to.

Once again, you are wrong. Only WILLFUL violations carry potential criminal penalties.

I guess he never beat his siblings in the childhood game of "Steamroller", or it looked like this:

Once again you are fucked up.

Criminal/Willful Violations. Section 17(e) of the
Act provides that: "Any employer who willfully
violates any standard, rule or order promulgated
pursuant to Section 6 of this Act, or of any
regulations prescribed pursuant to this Act, and that
violation caused death to any employee, shall, upon
conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than
$10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six
months, or by both; except that if the conviction is
for a violation committed after a first conviction of
such person, punishment shall be a fine of not more
than $20,000 or by imprisonment for not more than one
year, or by both."

The Area Director, in coordination with the
Regional Solicitor, shall carefully evaluate all
willful cases involving worker deaths to
determine whether they may involve criminal
violations of Section 17(e) of the Act. Because
the nature of the evidence available is of
paramount importance in an investigation of this
type, there shall be early and close liaison
between the OSHA investigator, the Area
Director, the Regional Administrator, and the
Regional Solicitor in developing any finding
which might involve a violation of Section 17(e)
of the Act.

What is willful? Well let us say the employee was not wearing his reflective vest. That MAY NOT be by itself "willful". Two employees not wearing their vests? That would be willful and posiibly criminal. But OSHA would determine that.



What is "Crimianl" a violation of OSHA regulations. Just like any criminal act, there are severities. You speed and get caught - you broke the law and you get a ticket. You speed and someone dies - you may end up going to jail.


I said OSHA violations are criminal. Just because you had something to add, doesn not make what I said wrong.

And since it probably happened not on Federal land or using Federal money, VOSH would be involved, not OSHA right away.

You were wrong. OSHA violations that are deemed criminal must have been proven to have derived from "wilful" conduct NOT "negligence." You wrote this: "OSHA regulations are criminal and violations and negligence are criminal statues." That was wrong. Clearly wrong. It is even more wrong to defend an inaccurate statement once the facts have been presented to you. Perhaps you should change your name to Pinocchio.

I am currious, do you stand by your misinformation because you are stubborn or stupid?
