The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Wednesday that it cited a Florida drywall contractor following a worker’s fatal head injury in July 2023.
OSHA cited Homestead-based Stucco Works Inc. after a worker was struck by the hoist arm of a pulley system used to lift buckets of concrete at a residential work site in Miami Beach.
The hoist arm had detached from the scaffold and struck the worker in the head.
OSHA cited the company for 12 serious violations for failing to maintain a safe working environment and proposed $74,555 in penalties.
Stucco Works has already contested the citation and proposed penalties before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
