    OSHA Investigates Construction Workers' Safety WAWS FOX30 ONLINE
    “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, it doesn’t take an engineer to look at something like this and say this does not appear to be safe,” says James Borders, OSHA’s Area Director. He’s surprised the men at this Auld and White construction site are allowed to work so high on a slanted roof without any protection. “The employer obviously recognizes there are fall potentials there because these men are wearing harnesses. The unfortunate part is they’re not connected to anything.”
