In
September 2013, OSHA cited Flintlock
Construction Services LLC of Mamaroneck, N.Y., for willful and serious
violations and proposed $249,920 in penalties for failure to protect employees
working on scaffolds from potentially fatal falls. Flintlock contested its
citations and penalties and alleged that some violations were not willful
because its corporate principals did not have knowledge of the hazards and
Flintlock made at least a minimal attempt at compliance. After review, Chief
Administrative Law Judge Covette Rooney upheld all the citations and penalties
and found Flintlock had knowledge of the hazards and the authority to have its
subcontractors correct safety hazards. For more information, see the news release.
