Berlin
Builders faces $385,836 in federal penalties after OSHA inspectors found that
workers continue to be exposed to dangerous falls at the company’s construction
sites. Inspections conducted at company worksites in Delaware and Pennsylvania
found violations that included failing to: provide fall protection, develop and
implement a hazard communication program; and inspect the jobsite for fall and
fire-related hazards. Berlin Builders has been inspected 23 times in the past
12 months, and was issued citations involving similar fall hazards. “Berlin
Builders is a serial violator that callously refuses to take even the most
basic steps to protect workers from falls and other serious hazards in
construction,” said Richard Mendelson, OSHA regional administrator in
Philadelphia. Read the news release for more information.
