David Kimberl hadn’t even earned his first paycheck from a Florida construction company when he was killed while dismantling a section of a bridge in Larchmont. The 18-year-old, who had never worked in bridge construction, was crushed to death when a bridge panel weighing nearly 1,800 pounds fell on him.
An OSHA investigation into Kimberl’s death has resulted in 14 serious safety violations against GLF Construction Corp., a subsidiary of Rome, Italy-based Grandi Lavori Fincosit SpA.
