A Snohomish, Wash. roofing company with an extensive history of worker safety violations is facing $442,654 in new fines for disregarding the same rules it has been caught violating repeatedly over the last several years.
According to the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), the agency opened an inspection of Allways Roofing last November after an L&I employee saw roofers on a two-story building in Tumwater working without fall protection. Because the company was already considered a “Severe Violator,” inspectors returned to the job site daily following the initial inspection.
