Fall Hazards At Norwich, Conn., Construction Site
Potentially fatal 18- and 27-foot falls at a Norwich, Conn., residential construction site have led to $120,500 in proposed fines for a Newark, N.J.-based residential framing contractor. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited New Place Carpentry for 15 alleged violations of safety standards following an inspection begun Oct. 31, 2006.
Upon arriving at the South Thames Street worksite, OSHA inspectors observed New Place Carpentry employees working without required fall protection, including one employee exposed to a 27-foot fall. The inspection also found employees exposed to 18-foot falls from ladders of insufficient height.
This inspection resulted in New Place Carpentry being issued two repeat citations, with $80,000 in proposed fines. OSHA issues a repeat citation when an employer has been cited for similar hazards in the past. In 2004 and 2005, New Place Carpentry was cited for similar hazards at worksites in North Haven and Milford, Conn. Read more at osha.gov.
