After Billerica police officer was killed, Massachusetts safety group rips contractor: ‘Blatantly disregard worker safety’

The contractor involved in the tragic incident that killed a Billerica cop is being slammed by a leading job safety group for its past OSHA violations and for “continuing to ignore and blatantly disregard worker safety.”

Sgt. Ian Taylor, 49, was killed while working at a road construction site in Billerica last month. He was struck by an excavator that was backing up on the worksite. Taylor was transported to Lahey Hospital, where he later died.
