Dear Mayor,

You should be advised that the photos in this article are being sent to OSHA so that the fines can be administered. This is a perfect example of the ignorance of not only yourself, Mr. Solomon, Mr. Picozzi, and the operator of the lift. OSHA regulations require all persons operating or being a passenger in a lift to be wearing a harness that is attached to the lift. These photos indicate willful neglect, unsafe operation, and ignorance of basic construction regulations. It speaks volumes of the mentality of your Public Works Director who was overseeing the entire dog and pony show. Now we have retained an individual to operate machinery that clearly has no knowledge of how to do so, nor does he have the basic PPE (that's personal protective equipment) that is required for lift operations. Just another example of amateur hour in Warwick. By the way, the fine is $10,000 for lift operation without a harness. DUMMIES !
