The alleged failure to protect its employees from safety hazards has brought Seabrook-based N SKY Construction LLC multiple citations from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) following a fatality at the company’s worksite in Seabrook.
N SKY Construction was cited for one willful, 18 serious and two other-than-serious safety violations carrying $110,600 in proposed fines following an OSHA inspection which began on Aug. 22, 2007, at the company’s Endeavour Condominium worksite. The investigation revealed that an employee, who was sweeping floors as part of a clean-up crew, backed off an unprotected edge and fell 29 floors to his death. The company, which specializes in high-rise construction, had 37 employees, with an additional 25 contract workers, at the site.
This employer ignored safety and health rules that could have prevented the tragic death of this employee,” said Dean McDaniel, OSHA’s regional administrator in Dallas
