OSHA sharpens fall-protection focus, fines NJ contractor $222K

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued a New Jersey framing contractor two repeat safety violation citations and fined the company $222,697 for failing to provide proper fall and eye protection.

OSHA said agency inspectors saw Frame Q employees executing framing tasks without the proper fall-protection measures in place. The agency added that Frame Q also did not provide adequate eye protection for its employees.

OSHA said it cited Frame Q in March 2014 for fall- and eye-protection violations as well.
