U.S. Department of Labor | A U.S. DOL investigation has found numerous safety hazards at a civil construction employer’s worksite following a trench collapse in Jefferson County.
The department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigators found CB&A Construction LLC workers removed and installed drain pipes for Jefferson County under a suspended load, without hard hats, and at the edge of an excavation that lacked protective restraints.
OSHA cited CB&A Construction with a willful violation and proposed $170,145 in penalties.
CB&A Construction LLC has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
