OSHA proposes $169,000 in fines to Hartford, Connecticut contractor for repeatedly exposing workers to cave-in hazards
Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed $169,000 in fines against contractor Penney Construction Company LLC in Hartford mainly for exposing its workers to cave-in hazards while repairing a sewer line in a ten foot deep trench on Park St.
"This employer repeatedly sent its workers into harm's way even after being told that the unguarded trench posed a clear, immediate and potentially deadly threat," said Paul Mangiafico, OSHA's area director in Hartford. "These workers could have been crushed or buried alive in seconds."

"Over 200 employees throughout our offices are required to complete Blood borne Pathogen Certification annually.
