Jose Rodolfo Garcia fell 14 stories down an elevator shaft to his death on July 18. An OSHA investigation is underway, but city officials and local labor leaders say there is more work to be done.
Kansas City officials and labor advocates demanded solutions Thursday that would strengthen worksite safety after the death of a worker at the former AT&T building downtown.
Jose Rodolfo Garcia, an immigrant who lacked permanent legal status and was employed by the temp agency Infinity Resources Enterprise, fell 14 stories down an elevator shaft to his death on July 18.
Under a contract with New Horizons, a Kansas City, Missouri, organization, Garcia traveled from Indiana to perform asbestos abatement work at 500 E. 8th St. The Kansas City Star reports the old office building is being converted into apartments.
