State officials have fined the Dave Shaw Concrete & Block company $128,945 for alleged safety violations after a worker was buried and killed at a large building under construction near South Park in Hermosa. Shaw said he is appealing the fine, which he expects to be lowered substantially. He called the death of the worker a “terrible accident” and said the conclusions of state investigators were inaccurate in some areas, and painted a misleading picture in others.
