The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has reduced the number of violations from four to two against four firms it cited in April in the collapse at the Cincinnati casino under construction downtown.

Messer Construction, of Bond Hill; J&B Steel Erectors Inc., of Hamilton, Ohio; Pendleton Construction Group LLC, of Spring Grove Village; and Jostin Concrete Construction Inc., of Walnut Hills, will be cited for failure to coordinate inspections and failure to support the structural steel.

Those firms also will pay half of the original proposed fines, initially set at $76,300, OSHA spokesman Scott Allen said Monday. Three of the four companies have already paid their fines.
