Local contractor daring OSHA to come on by

Posted by Mark Paskell on Tue, Dec 27, 2011 @ 11:42 PM

Contractors keep sending me pictures from their daily travels when ever they see something unsafe going on. I wonder if they are also sending these shots to OSHA or the EPA.

Take a look at this shot taken last week in Northborough. How many fall protection violations do you see? Would you chance standing on the little roof without a harness or guard rail? Of course not however these are the type of pictures we are getting from guys who are fed up competing in a market with the contractors not following safe practices. In our recent OSHA Awareness Seminars presented by Tim Irving from OSHA he said all inspectors have to do is ride by a job like this, go in and start writing citations. This picture has at least 6 violations in plain view. Do you know what they are?
