US Labor Department's OSHA proposes $125,800 in fines against Brooklyn New York contractor after partial building collapse

US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, also known as OSHA, has cited a precast concrete installation contractor, New York Plank Services LLC for allegedly willful and serious violations of safety standards after a partial building collapse in Brooklyn. The contractor faces a total of $125,800 in fines.
 
"While it is fortunate that no workers were injured in this incident, they were still exposed to crushing hazards during the event and to fall hazards afterward," said Kay Gee, OSHA's area director for Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. "These sizable fines reflect the gravity of the hazards and the employer's knowledge that these vital and required safeguards were ignored."
