The Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Action Concrete Construction Incorporated for exposing its employees to fall hazards and eye injuries.
During its investigation of the company’s Panama City Beach worksite, OSHA inspectors found 1 willful violation for failing to install guardrails or use personal fall arrest systems while employees worked at a height of eleven feet.
