Jacksonville – Florida – Chamber of Commercial
Workings
A decade ago, when you drove through the largest
city in Florida (Jax), one glaring eye-sore made you wish that you were already
fishing in Miami and far away from the Bold New City of the South. It was the
perpetual road construction that seemed to go on forever and was unsafe for the
workers that toiled on these sites in Jacksonville.
We caught up with a lifelong resident of Jacksonville,
Tim Spencer, recently and this man was all
too happy to share with us here at Online OSHA Safety Training, his own
trials and tribulations, as a construction worker on I-10.
“The work day started at 5:00 am and continued until
well into the dark of night.” Tim said over a bagel and a cup of Joe at Ronnie’s
Breakfast Nook on the south side of town. Mr. Spencer was employed with Straightway
Road Construction from 2002 to 2008 and saw his fair share of accidents and
even a sole fatality in his 8-years of working on the construction projects
that dotted Jacksonville during his tenure.
“The truck was going so fast that all we could do
was to dive out of the way and one worker was a tad bit slow and that slowness
costs him his life.” The slow worker
was Billy Tiller and after his family won a wrongful death lawsuit against the
driver of that semi-trailer, the OOST onsite training team was called in to
teach a class on construction ‘pass-through’ safety.
The course allowed the construction workers toiling
on the construction sites on I-10 to feel safer and accidents dropped to zero
in 2005. “We miss Billy something awful but his death was not for naught as the
rest of us were able to work and provide for our families as the safety issues
were taken into affect by the examiners and teachers from OOST.”
