A Wilkes-Barre, Pa. roofing contractor has again been cited for exposing employees to falls, this time as they worked on the roof of a commercial building in Honesdale, Pa.
According to a release, OSHA inspectors observed employees of Avila’s Roofing LLC working at heights of up to 27 feet in February 2023 without fall protection, in violation of federal workplace safety requirements. They also learned the company had not provided employees with effective training on fall hazards and allowed them to work without eye and face protection when potential risks of eye or face injury existed.
