The Orlando, Florida-based roofing contractor faces $134,510 in penalties, the maximum allowed by law.
OSHA inspectors determined that the employee was performing residential roofing activities without fall protection when he fell. OSHA also cited the company for failing to provide fall protection training to employees and conduct frequent inspections to ensure employees were utilizing fall protection.
