The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration said Wednesday it cited an Illinois construction company for the seventh time since 2020 for exposing workers to fall hazards.
OSHA cited Bolingbrook-based Maestro Construction Inc. for two “willful,” two “repeat,” and two “serious” violations and proposed $264,407 in penalties.
OSHA said that on two occasions – in December 2023 and February 2024 – inspectors found workers doing framing work at a Hanover Park residential construction site without proper fall protection. Some workers had fall protection safety gear but wore it incorrectly, the agency said.
Maestro Construction also failed to certify that workers had been trained in fall hazards and on the required use of personal protective equipment, the agency said.
