Nine New York Contractors Face $98,400 in Fines After OSHA Sweep Occupational Hazards
'It's particularly disturbing to see many of the same hazards at three different jobsites overseen by the same general contractor,' said Antonio Pietroluongo, OSHA's acting Manhattan area director. 'Left uncorrected, these conditions expose employees to potential serious injury or death from falls, electrocution, scaffold collapse, gas cylinder explosions or head injuries.'
Great American Construction Corp. of Mt. Vernon, N.Y., the general contractor for the three projects, was fined $25,350 for lack of fall protection and fall protection training; unsecured floor hole covers; uncleared debris; ladder and stairway hazards; various electrical hazards; improper storage of compressed gas cylinders; and failing to perform an engineering survey and to inspect the jobsite.------------------------------------------- posted 12:40 PM :: reference link ::
