Scaffolding collapse in Texas at Austin's 21 Rio Condo Project points to safety changes needing to be made.

Brooks Schuelke, an attorney from Austin with Perlmutter & Schuelke writes about a scaffolding collapse at Austin’s 21 Rio Condo Project.  Here in the Lombardi Law Firm site we have discussed scaffolding safety on several occasions. We stand by what we’ve stated and what attorney Schuelke writes in his post, Scaffold Collapse At Austin's 21 Rio Condo Project Demonstrates The Need For Fall Safety Systems, June 10, 2009.
