Oregon contractor faces $105,800 in fines for alleged fall hazards

JMJ Construction LLC, Canby, Ore., faces citations and $105,800 in fines for allegedly allowing three employees to work at heights without fall protection at a Hillsboro, Ore., job site, risking an 18-foot fall, according to Bloomberg Law. The company is not an NRCA member.

JMJ Construction was performing roofing work on a commercial building as a subcontractor.

Since February 2020, the company has been cited four times for violating a rule that requires employers to implement fall-protection systems at job sites when there is a hazard of falling 6 feet or more to a lower level. JMJ Construction has filed an appeal.
