Osha Needs to be called

Sunday July 9th,2006

Keith Stamm, Pierre Cooper and Karen McCree walked around Reading High School. It was a very interesting afternoon.

Things that the three of us found: A ladder going up to the third floor in the back of the High School,The High School still lit like a Christmas from the night before, Cold chisels laying loose on the esplanade,and a cement bucket approximately 12 feet long & 5 feet wide hanging by a hydraulic crane.

I was taught that whenever you had a chance for hydraulic cylinders failing, you keep that crane or piece of equipment in the down position. Please, will someone listen before there is a catastrophe.

The construction site didn't have a secure fence around it.

Let's look at the real culprits for the contractors that HAVE to be hired. The state mandates that the school district hire the LOWEST bidder. Are they ever the best?
