The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration has subpoenaed a Tennessee-based roofer after an employee fell through a skylight at a Florida airport hangar.
OSHA said Friday it cited Porter Roofing Contractors Inc., based in Morrison, Tenn., for four serious violations and proposed penalties of $53,797 related to the Oct. 25, 2022 incident in which the roofer fell through a skylight at Peter Prince Field in Milton. Florida. The roofer died four days after the 25-foot fall.
OSHA claims the company failed to regularly inspect job sites, materials, and equipment; expose workers to electrical, shock and fall hazards; and failed to report an employee’s work-related hospitalization within 24 hours.
Porter Roofing, which has offices in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, has 15 days to contest the subpoenas and proposed penalties.
