OSHA
recently cited A&W Roofing of Middlefield, Ohio, after an
inspection of a Pittsburgh worksite found the company had failed to
provide fall protection to employees working 35 to 40 feet above the
ground on a steeply sloped roof. OSHA also found that the employer
failed to ensure that workers on the ground wore hardhats as required to
prevent head injuries, and failed to ensure that ladders were properly
extended to prevent falls that could injure workers. In addition,
A&W did not have an effective safety and health program in place and
did not provide workers with fall protection training. A&W Roofing
was cited in 2014, 2015 and 2016 for similar violations at worksites in Ohio. For more information, read the news release.
