A Maine roofing contractor faces $1.6 million in penalties after a federal judge affirmed citations and violations related to the death of a worker in 2018.
In December 2018, Alan Loignon, 30, was reportedly working as a subcontracted roofer at a house in Portland for Purvis Home Improvement Co. of Scarborough, Maine. He wasn’t using fall protection and, while climbing down a ladder onto scaffolding, fell 21 feet to his death.
