OSHA Cites Texas Roofing Contractor for Role in Fatal Fall of 21-Year-Old Worker
HOUSTON — The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is citing a Texas-based roofing contractor regarding the death of a 21-year-old roofing worker who fell 30 feet at a jobsite.
On Jan. 26, 2022, the roofing worker suffered fatal injuries after falling about 30 feet through a skylight atop a Houston building. Inspectors with OSHA determined Shielder Ventures LLC – which operates as D&G Quality Roofing – failed to provide the worker with a personal fall arrest system. According to a release, in November 2021, OSHA issued D&G Quality Roofing a citation for the same violation after an inspection at a work site near Austin.
