Loop Parkway Bridge workers fall: safety lessons for crews

Construction workers fell from the Loop Parkway Bridge into the water below in Nassau County, New York. ABC7 New York reported the story. The early report we saw didn't say how many workers were involved, what condition they're in or what caused the fall. This is still developing, so check the original coverage for updates.

We don't know what went wrong on that bridge, and we're not going to guess. But whenever workers fall from height, it's worth every crew taking a hard look at its own setup. That means bridge crews, roofers, siding installers and anybody else who works off the ground.
