For the fourth time in two years, a Connecticut roofing contractor has been cited by OSHA for fall-related hazards.
The agency’s Bridgeport Area office began investigating Total Remodeling Services after an OSHA inspector observed its employees working on a roof without any form of fall protection. The inspection also established that the workers had not been trained to recognize that they were exposed to fall hazards, nor had they been trained in properly setting up and using ladders to access the roof. They faced an additional fall hazard from carrying shingles and other materials while they were climbing ladders.
