Does the thought of yet another Minnesota bridge failure send shivers down your spine and infuriate you all at the same time? We thought it would and this is the exact reason why we are making more of a concertize effort into bringing you all, pertinent, relevant, US infrastructure information. As OSHA training providers, the ability to decipher fact from fiction is one of our greatest assets. This is not to say that we are so full of ourselves as to think that we cannot be lead astray just like anyone else, as we can and have multiple times, in both our personal and professional lives. It is only to say that we have become quite adept at picking out the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Memory Lane and Failed Bridges
To get back to the topic at hand, we will kick things off today with a little stroll down uncomfortable Memory Lane. The date was August 1, 2007 and the I35 West Bridge was packed full of Minnesotans’ returning home from work in Minneapolis and surrounding communities. 13 people lost their lives in one of the most horrific bridge failures in American history. We apologize if this has brought back any bad memories of this tragedy but we will not apologize for sparking the interest back into the failed US infrastructure situation, and away from Federal debt woes.
Hearts and Minds
OSHA training is a great start to mending not only the hearts of those that lost family and friends on that fateful day, but also will be a key player in the required 10 Hour and or 30 Hour Construction Safety Training Courses, that many states now require for all public workers.
