Pennsylvania Contractor Fined $181,000 for Scaffolding Violations



A Lansdowne, Pa., masonry contractor has been cited once again by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. In October 2014, OSHA inspectors found that JC Stucco and Stone Inc. failed to provide proper fall protection for employees working on unsafe scaffolding while applying a stucco exterior to new residential housing in Philadelphia. The company received three willful violations with proposed fines of $181,500. In 2011, the company was placed in OSHA's Severe Violator Enforcement Program for multiple instances of repeated, high-gravity violations. Since then, the employer has received 41 citations related to scaffolding.
