The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Monday that it cited a Wisconsin roofing contractor for repeat and safety violations after employees were exposed to fall hazards in May and June.
OSHA said it cited Suamico-based Overhead Solutions LLC for four repeat violations and one serious violation of federal fall protection standards and proposed $180,469 in penalties. The agency had cited the company for similar violations in 2022.
Inspectors observed roofers working 30 feet above ground without fall protection at a Menasha apartment complex in May. Less than two weeks later, inspectors discovered a similar lack of fall protection at a work site in Appleton.
The company has 15 business days to contest the citation and proposed penalties.
