New York Contractor Exposed Workers to Scaffolding Hazards

Kay Waterproofing Corp., a masonry and waterproofing contractor in New York, has been cited by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for 13 serious safety violations — including fall and scaffolding hazards — found at a residential building in Edgewater, N.J. OSHA initiated its December 2013 investigation after an imminent danger complaint was made and has proposed $66,600 in penalties. The company failed to provide eye protection for employees chipping and cutting masonry, as well as hard hats where overhead hazards existed. It also failed to ensure equipment had an electrical grounding pin and was properly guarded and protected.
