Construction Company found negligible in Crane Collapse at Sioux Steel District

I have been looking for this ever since the collapse happened in 2022. Not sure why the penalty amounts are $0, and there seems to be some kind of settlement.

When the collapse happened, an engineer friend of mine said,

“Bet you they have not been doing inspections, because if you inspect the crane properly, these things don’t happen.”

Sure enough, sloppy safety checks. The company is lucky no one died.

I also find it ironic that the developer teamed up with OSHA to make this a partnership with the project for worker safety. Probably won’t be getting that partnership again anytime soon.
