Florida company continues long history of OSH violations
OSHA proposes $280K in fines for roofing company after two recent inspections
Recent federal inspections of Florida construction sites finds Jasper Contractors Inc., a Georgia-based roofing company, is continuing its seven-year history of ignoring safety and health laws and putting workers at risk of serious injury or death.
Since 2009, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has completed 13 inspections at Jasper work sites and found 24 violations. The agency has cited the roofing contractor with willful, serious and repeat violations for a lack of fall and eye protection and ladder safety. To date, Jasper's safety failures have resulted in OSHA assessing more than $516K in penalties for violating federal fall protection, personal protective equipment and other safety standards.
