According to OSHA, the fatality could have been prevented if the Texas-based contractor heeded a citation issued a month prior to the incident for failing to provide a personal fall arrest system.
A Tennessee contractor faces more than $122,000 in violations after a 16-year-old boy in their employ doing roof construction fell to his death in June 2020.
In the newest National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries report, the data shows roofers accounted for 111 of the 5,333 fatal injuries that occurred in 2019.
