    Willful Fall Hazards, Other Violations Lead to Contractor's $106,200 Fine - Occupational Health & Safety News
    The willful citations are for failing to fully plank working levels of the scaffold; to set up the scaffold on adequate foundation; to supply workers with a ladder or other safe access to the scaffold working levels; and to provide guardrails for employees working on upper levels of the scaffold. The agency considers a willful violation as one committed with plain indifference to or intentional disregard for employee safety and health.
