The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited St. Louis, Mo., roofing contractor Juan Zuniga with six serious and five repeat safety violations for exposing workers to fall and other hazards. OSHA’s inspection, which began in October 2010, resulted in proposed penalties totaling $68,720.
The serious citations allege a lack of eye protection, scaffold fall and tripping hazards, and inadequate scaffold use training.
The repeat citations are similar to those issued against the same company on Nov. 25, 2009, and Aug. 16, 2010. Alleged hazards include those associated with falls from a roof, improper ladder use and personnel point of access, and jobsite inspection deficiencies.
Zuniga has 15 business days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director in St. Louis, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
