HESSE MARTONE: Eighth Circuit upholds subcontractor's Criminal Liability in Fatal Employee Fall

General court 05

Hesse Martone issued the following announcement on July 18.

The 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld $500,000 fine and Class B Misdemeanor against DNRB, a construction contractor whose employee fell to his death, having not ensured its employee secured his personal protective equipment, even though it provided it to him. The Court held that the employer willfully violated the OSHA regulations and used a previous citation as evidence to support its finding.
