INGLEWOOD, Calif. The tears began as soon as Mirna Ontiveros caught sight of SoFi Stadium. It was a Saturday, on an unusually cold and windy morning, and Mirna still wasn t sure why she was here. In the months since her husband, an ironworker named Juan Becerra, fell to his death while helping to construct this lavish football stadium, Mirna had wrestled with the idea of seeing it for herself.
Dive Brief:
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has cited two companies for violations related to the falling death of a worker during construction at SoFi Stadium in June, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The newspaper said Fabritec Structures and ZD Inspections received five citations related to the death of Juan Becerra, who was employed by ZD Inspections and fell approximately 120 feet through a roof opening that wasn’t protected by temporary railings, toeboards or covers. Total proposed penalties amount to more than $54,000.
In addition, the article said ZD Inspections was cited for additional serious violations, including employees not wearing “personal fall arrest, person restraint or positioning systems.” The L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s report on Becerra’s death noted that no “cat line” or safety line was attached to the worker’s harness. The companies have a right to appeal the citations.
