It has long been known that construction jobs rank among the most deadly in terms of workplace fatalities, but defects in the manufacture of a workplace safety device may have contributed to the risky environment in at least one Texas fatality. Several construction workers were killed on an Austin worksite when scaffolding attached to a large condominium development collapsed, causing three laborers to plunge to their deaths. A lawsuit that has been filed in the incident claims that scaffolding manufacturer American Mast Climbers created a defective product and did not attach sufficient safety warnings to the equipment. Several contractors and subcontractors that were involved in the project have also been named in the suit.
