The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited a New Jersey construction contractor for exposing workers to potentially deadly falls of up to 30 feet.
OSHA said Tuesday it cited Newark-based Main Line Contractor Corp. for 17 serious and four willful violations and proposed $333,052 in fines after inspectors visited work sites in Berlin, Cape May, Lakewood, Mount Holly and Mount Laurel beginning in January.
The agency said the framing and sheathing contractor failed to provide or did not require the use of protective equipment designed to prevent falls from elevations greater than six feet.
The company has 15 business days to contest the citations and penalties.
