The $11k Citation

In this episode, we’re going over a company that failed to train their employees on the hazards of walking on roofs. Unfortunately that employee fell, and the company was then cited $10,800.

“Prior to and during the course of the investigation, the employer failed to ensure employee had been trained and instructed on the hazards and safety precautions regarding roofing operations including walking/standing on roof rafters”
