“Falls in construction remain the number one killer of workers, and All Phase Roofing is irresponsible by allowing workers to work on unprotected roofs. These types of hazards are well known, but we still see employers putting workers at risk and creating life-threatening working conditions. “,” Condell Eastmond, director of OSHA’s regional office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said in a statement. “Like Lennar Homes, general contractors also have a responsibility to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of their subcontractors on the job site.”
