OSHA is imposing significant fines on an Ohio-based roofing contractor, JHM Roofing, for repeatedly endangering workers with deadly fall hazards at multiple job sites in 2023 despite having fall protection equipment available.
A roofing contractor has refused to pay the penalties related to citations for fall protection violations, causing the department to file suit in federal court.
The penalties and fines stem from the contractor taking large deposits from consumers by failing to perform the promised work, according to the Maryland Attorney General's office.
