| Worker killed in Tower Crane Accident yet another construction worker killed in crane accident. happened this morning around 9 am in Annapolis. The construction company is Miller and Long. This is like the third or fourth accident this company has had. They were dismantling the crane and he got smashed between the two pieces. looks like he got caught between the boom and maybe the jib? Whats with all the crane accidents lately? This is like the fourth one in two months! Worker killed in Parole crane accident - Top Stories - (HometownAnnapolis.com)

| well i was trying to be senisitive about the subject, but the heck with it, my whole company that i work for calls them "Killer and Long" . They have a very bad reputation since they have been in business.

| Well then you should know how many accidents they have had lately. They just had a guy get hurt really bad when a concrete bucket hanging from a tower crane smashed him against a form. I work for Clark, and we have tower cranes on alot of the same jobs as Miller and Long, they don't have very high standards of safety. Difference is, Clark is Union, and Miller and Long isn't. I wish they would turn Union though, because they have a ALOT of good operators, that could really succeed in the Operators Union.

| Here we go w/ the union crap. Unions have nothing to do w/ safety standards on jobsites. OSHA, MOSH, VOSH regulations supersede any pizz-ant, obstructionist union outfit like clark. WTF does union vs non-union have to do w/ a fatality when ALL companies, of any substantial size, have to adhere to safety regulations mandated by the state & federal government?? Killer & Wrong..LOL.. I've heard that for 20 years.. & I agree, their work is something to be desired.. As for K&L's safety record, their primary work force is made up of individuals who can't even speak English.. How can you operate safely if you can't communicate w/ the idiot on the other end of the stick?? |
