Emergency personnel work to rescue a man who fell Thursday while working on the bridge on Dawsonville Highway. OSHA is now investigating the incident.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is looking into last week’s fall of a worker during repairs to the westbound Dawsonville Highway/Ga. 53 bridge over Lake Lanier. OSHA “opened an inspection” of the Thursday incident because the worker was hospitalized, said Michael D’Aquino, regional spokesman for the U.S. Department of Labor. He said the worker is employed with International Rigging Group LLC, a bridge painting and sandblasting company from Tarpon Springs, Fla.
