MANATEE COUNTY, FLORIDA
A construction worker is dead after taking a fall from the
fourth floor of a building.
It happened Friday evening at 9085 Town Center Parkway in
Bradenton – that's an assisted living facility that's currently being built.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office says 45-year-old Emerterio
Moreno Ramirez was working on the fourth floor, and it appears that he
accidentally fell to the ground floor.
Ramirez was pronounced dead at the scene.
OSHA will conduct an investigation as this accident involves
a fatality. They will be looking into whether
the worker had the proper fall protection and training and whether the proper safeguards
had been implemented by the contractor.
