Questions about March-Westin Company’s Safety Record
April 2001 – Two Serious OSHA Violations & $3,750 Fine Proposed against
March-Westin
In April 2001, OSHA inspected a March-Westin job site at 1416 Kanawha
Boulevard in Charleston, West Virginia. OSHA found a March-Westin employee
working on a 29-foot tall roof, without any fall protection. A fall from
that height could have crippled or killed the worker. In addition, although
the worker was tossing trash into a dumpster, there was no trash chute. That
endangered any workers on the ground.
Over the last several years, OSHA has proposed nearly fifty citations,
and over $30,000 in fines against March-Westin Company for safety and health
violations.
Other inspections of March-Westin sites have also found multiple serious
OSHA violations. At a job site in Parsons, West Virginia, OSHA found four
serious violations of regulations governing propane handling, tripping
hazards, and foot protection. OSHA proposed a $2,100 fine against
March-Westin.
An inspection of March-Weston’s work at North Marion High School in
Farmington, West Virginia revealed violations of diesel fuel storage rules,
fall protection rules, and electrical regulations. |
