Lack of fall protection led to roofer's death in fall at Cincinnati work site
Employer faces $117K in fines
The life of a 53-year-old roofer who died after dropping 40 feet to the ground could have been saved if his employer had provided proper fall protection, the OSHA has found.
The agency cited R&B Contractors LLC of Shandon for one willful, 11 serious and three other-than-serious safety citations on Feb. 9, after the agency's investigation into the man's death at a commercial building site in Cincinnati on Aug. 10, 2015.
