New Jersey Construction Workers Injured in Roof Collapse


Posted on Nov 08, 2011

Five New Jersey construction workers were injured in an Ocean County construction accident last month. The workers were building a Quick Chek convenience store in Berkeley Township when the roof gave way. At least one worker was pinned under the lumber. The accident occurred around 9:30 a.m. on the morning of October 19, 2011, when the weather was rainy and high winds were reported.

According to a spokesperson for the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the roof trusses gave way causing the collapse. High winds may have been a factor in the accident. Reports indicate that J.G. Petrucci Co. Inc. was building the Quick Chek store and that the company had contracted with CCS, Incorporated for the roof trusses.

This New Jersey construction site has been shut down until further notice. However, reports indicate that the store is still scheduled to open sometime early next year.

The workers' injuries are said to range from broken bones to chest pains. All five of the injured workers were taken to area hospitals for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

We extend our best wishes to the construction workers injured in this accident, and we hope that they have quick and complete recoveries from their New Jersey construction accident injuries.
