VIOLATIONS

Far too many employees on construction sites are seriously injured or killed every year in preventable workplace accidents. According to the most recent data from the U.S Department of Labor, nearly 5,000 fatal work injuries were recorded in 2015, the most recent year for which data is available.

Employers have a responsibility to identify and address safety violations in the workplace in a timely manner to protect their employees from harm.

When landowners or construction site managers are negligent and fail to address work site safety issues, they jeopardize the health and safety of their employees.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducts work site safety inspections and holds employers accountable to take the necessary steps to identify and fix recognized safety hazards on their work sites. OSHA imposes strict regulations on every aspect of workplace safety. According to OSHA, their most frequently cited violations on worksites include:

  • Fall Protection
  • Scaffolding & Ladders
  • Electrical General Requirements
  • Machine Guarding
  • Hazard Communication
  • And more
