The U.S. Department of Labor reached an agreement with a Jamesport, Missouri roofing contractor after a federal investigation determined he violated federal laws, resulting in a teen worker’s fatal fall in March 2023.
The department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that John Troyer, owner of Troyer Construction LLP, which operates as Troyer Roofing & Coatings, failed to provide workers with required fall protection.
A separate investigation reportedly found the company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by employing minors illegally in roofing work.
Under the agreement, Troyer must pay $290,000, which includes $156,259 in OSHA penalties, $15,000 in child labor penalties and $118,741 in criminal fines to the U.S. Department of Justice. The company must also enroll in Missouri’s On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Program.
