OHSA is proposing penalties for two contractors after a roof truss collapsed and killed a 67-year-old worker in Florida.

The contractor currently owes more than $378,561 in penalties from six previous inspections dating back to 2018.

According to Oregon OSHA, this is the seventh time the company violated the same fall protection requirement.

Facilities that entered the contest were judged based on ARMA criteria derived from the standards set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
