A 25-year-old working on a six-story residential project at Florida State University died after being struck and crushed by a material/personnel elevator carriage not enclosed on all four sides.

After an investigation of the July 28, 2014 fatality, OSHA found that Miller's Plumbing and Mechanical Inc. allowed a window-frame opening in a building under construction to be uncovered, thus exposing workers to the hazard of being struck and crushed by the elevator carriage as it passed within inches of the opening. Citations were issued to Miller’s, along with Culpepper Construction Co. Inc., Benchmark Erectors Inc. and Fleck Exterior Systems Inc., all based in Tallahassee, for serious and willful safety violations.
