Federal safety regulators have levied $80,280 in penalties against Quick Roofing LLC for repeatedly exposing workers to falls, ladder hazards and eye injuries.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) said the employer has been cited six times in three years for the same or similar violation.
The current citations were issued on April 14, 2016.
OSHA’s investigation at a site in Conroe, Texas, found one serious and four repeat violations dealing with fall, ladder, and eye hazards. The Texas roofing company has an extensive history with OSHA for repeatedly exposing workers to fall and ladder hazards.
The agency previously cited Quick Roofing for the same or similar violations in Dallas in December 2015, San Antonio in October 2015, Austin in September 2015, and Fort Worth in July 2014 and February 2013.
Quick Roofing has 120 workers at its headquarters in Kennedale and has facilities in Austin, San Antonio and Katy. The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the citations and penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
