Workers Injured When Floor Collapses
Cincinnati, OH — At least a dozen workers were injured at a construction site on Friday when the floor collapsed. The incident occurred at the Horseshoe Casino on Jan 27, 2012. The same developer had a similar accident just a few weeks ago at a casino in Cleveland. None of the injuries were thought to be life-threatening, but eleven workers were taken to the hospital. The crew was pouring concrete on a section of the second floor when a beam supporting the floor gave away. The floor fell and the workers who were on the second floor fell also. Fortunately no one was underneath the floor at the time. The casino is being built by Messer Construction Co. and the co-developer is Rock Gaming LLC. OSHA is investigating the accident and work has been halted at the site, until it is safe. The Horseshoe Casino is supposed to open in spring 2013. It will have three restaurants, 2,000 slot machines, 85 table games and 31 poker tables. If you have been injured on the job, get the advice of a workers’ comp attorney.
