The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Adrian Construction Group LLC, Paterson, N.J. for again exposing workers to fall hazards, this time while working at a construction site in Franklin Lakes, N.J., according to OSHA. The company is not an NRCA member.
OSHA initiated an inspection of Adrian Construction Group in July 2023 under a local emphasis program for falls in construction. The agency issued six willful violations for lack of fall protection and failure to ensure the use of eye protection and four serious violations for unsafe scaffolds and failure to provide hard hats for overhead hazards. Adrian Construction Group faces a proposed penalty of $1.017 million for these violations.
OSHA has inspected Adrian Construction five times since 2016, and each time, the agency cited the company for failure to provide workers with fall protection. The company has been added to the Severe Violators Enforcement Program because of the egregious nature of the fall violations.
