Frontier Industrial Corp. to blame in death of Clark White earlier this year.
Federal investigators have determined that a demolition company whose worker was killed during a building collapse on Weedon Island in June should pay more than $12,000 in fines for serious safety violations.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration, which recently finished an investigation into the death of welder Clark White, 65, determined New York-based Frontier Industrial Corp. committed two serious safety violations.
The federal agency found that structures at the site were overstressed and that inspections weren’t being done during the project, according to documents obtained Tuesday by the St. Petersburg Times.
Each violation carries a potential penalty of $6,300.
In citation documents, OSHA said columns weakened by cutting and notching in preparation for demolition were overstressed.
