OSHA, which is empowered to set and enforce standards to ensure workforce safety and health, said the citations were issued to 19 of the 23 companies working at the construction sites campus. OSHA has previously cited at least one of the companies for violating worker safety rules. “Strong enforcement is a key part of this Administrationʼs efforts to reduce workplace injuries,” Elaine Chao, Secretary of Labor, said in a press release. “The significant penalty of $147,625 in this case demonstrates our commitment to protecting the safety of American workers.” One company, Coreslab Structures, was cited for exposing workers to falls and impalement, defective fall arrest systems and inad- equately grounded equipment. The total proposed fine to Coreslab was $65,000. Other companies faced penalties ranging from $225 to $15,750 for violations such as failure to protect workers from impalement and falling objects, defective equipment and lack of fall protection.
