Roofing Company Fined Again for Fall Hazard Violations
Wednesday, April 18, 2018 | 0
An Ohio roofing contractor again faces fines for exposing employees to falls from rooftops, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said this week.
Benny's Roofing LLC was fined almost $138,400 for allowing workers to operate at heights greater than 13 feet without appropriate fall protection. Investigators for OSHA observed the workers last year using mountain-climbing gear and ropes instead of approved equipment, the agency said in a news release.
“This employer’s repeated failure to comply with federal safety requirements is exposing employees to injuries from fall hazards," said Ken Montgomery, director of OSHA's Cincinnati office.
The company has 15 days to comply, request a conference with OSHA officials or contest the findings before an occupational safety review commission.
