Roofing
company owner James J. McCullagh was sentenced March 29 in federal court to 10
months in prison and two years of probation, for four counts of making false
statements, one count of obstruction of justice, and one count of willfully
violating an OSHA regulation.
As
previously
reported in QuickTakes, McCullagh pled guilty in December
2015 to criminal charges stemming from a 2014 incident where
a worker who was not provided with fall protection fell 45 feet to his death
while performing roofing repairs on a church in Philadelphia.
"No
penalty can bring back the life of this employee, but the outcome in this case
will send a clear message," said OSHA Assistant Secretary Dr. David
Michaels in a statement when
McCullough entered his guilty plea.
