The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Monday that it cited an Illinois carpentry contractor for failing to address fall hazards.
OSHA cited Palos Park, Illinois-based Dromin Development LLC for two “repeat” violations, one “willful” violation, one “serious” violation and one “other-than-serious” violation and proposed $268,309 in penalties for failing to provide safety equipment and training to employees building a new home in Frankfort.
Inspectors visited the construction site in March and found that the company permitted employees to work at heights greater than six feet without required fall protection. The agency said workers were also found to be working without hard hats and using ladders improperly.
OSHA said Dromin Development, which has been cited seven times since 2013 for similar violations, still owes more than $114,000 in unpaid penalties for past “willful” and “serious” violations.
The company has 15 business days to contest the latest citation and proposed penalties.
