US Labor Department's OSHA cites McEntire's Roofing of Lincoln, Illinois $102,000 for failing to provide fall protection for workers
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued McEntire's Roofing Incorporated 6 citations for failing to provide fall protection for roofers working residential projects.
The citations are the result of 2 OSHA investigations conducted under the Local Emphasis Program on Fall Hazards, which occured in July and September of 2010 at jobsites in Bloomington and Lincoln, Illinois. 2 willful citations totaling $56,000 in penalties were issued after inspectors watched roofers being allowed to work without fall protection at 2-story residential projects. Willful violations exists once an employer has demonstrated either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the law or an indifference to employee health and safety.
"Falls are a leading cause of injury and death in the workplace," said Thomas Bielema, OSHA's area director in Peoria, Ill. "McEntire's Roofing repeatedly has been cited for not providing adequate fall protection and that is unacceptable. OSHA is committed to ensuring employers abide by the law, which requires commonsense safety practices."
