Martin Davila, of Davila Construction, has been cited by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration for exposing employees to fall hazards at three Missouri job sites.

OSHA also alleges Davila Construction violated electrical safety rules and allowed a gas can to be stored in close proximity to combustion engines. The residential roofing company is facing up to $205,098 in penalties.

OSHA said Davila Construction failed to properly train employees on how to manage safety hazards while working high above ground. The agency also said Davila Construction did not provide workers with training for safe ladder use or offer protection from pneumatic nail guns.

Davila Construction was cited in 2014 for not developing or maintaining a safety program.

Davila has 15 business days to comply, request an informal conference or dispute the findings.
