The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Friday that it cited a Florida construction contractor for the second time in five years for endangering employees who perform work at great heights.
OSHA cited Winter Haven-based Carpenter Contractors of America Inc. for one “willful-serious” violation and proposed $161,323 in penalties after inspectors found the company failed to provide required fall protection equipment to employees at a job site in Ave Maria, Florida, in January.
The workers were observed during the inspection securing roof trusses and facia 32 feet off the ground.
Carpenter Contractors has 15 business days to contest the citation and proposed penalties.
