A New York roofing company has stopped fighting over $600,000 in fines after inspectors found workers were vulnerable to falls at a Bergen County construction site, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) said recently.
The agency convinced the company, ALJ Home Improvement of Nanuet, New York, to end its litigation challenging the fines, OSHA said in a statement. The decision came a week prior to a planned trial being heard before the department’s Office of the Solicitor in New York.
OSHA had issued $687,536 in penalties and citations after finding in 2022 the company failed to provide employees with steep-slope roofing protection at a home construction site on Warren Avenue in Ho-Ho-Kus.
