U.S. Department of Labor | OSHA reached a settlement with John Troyer after a teen worker’s fatal fall in March 2023.

OSHA found Troyer Construction LLP failed to provide required fall protection for roofing work, and the Wage and Hour Division found illegal minor employment from May 2022 to June 2023. Under the agreement, Troyer must pay $290,000 in OSHA, child labor, and DOJ fines, and enroll in Missouri’s On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Program.
