OSHA Strike Again. Yikes. Huge Fine.
On January 16th, OSHA (Big Brother) cited Peach State Roofing of Rock Hill, S.C. for repeat fall protection hazard with a proposed penalty of $50,000. That’s a lot of bones, dinero, scratch, greenbacks, benjamins, dough, or cash no matter how you slice it. Why do we have so many names for money?
I mean seriously, how is this crap still happening? Everyone knows that fall hazards are the leading cause of workplace injuries and death right? Well they are.
The company was failing to provide fall protection for employees working 13 feet above ground. Why? Let’s get it together guys.
Even though Blame Someone Else Day has already passed, I’d like to say that in addition to the company, the employees climbing up without fall protection are just as much to blame.
Remember, you’re the only one looking out for yourself. Besides if you refuse to work without safety gear and they fire you, well then you can sue their asses. Point employee.
