A Pennsylvania construction company was cited after a worked fell 225 feet off a building.

The company, Mariani & Richards Inc., was investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in August of 2009 after the death of a worker. After the investigation, OSHA found that the company was not providing their workers with necessary fall protection while working on a building in downtown Pittsburgh. They were cited with one willful violation and fined $70,000. This company was cited for the same thing in 2007 but did not take the proper steps to correct the issue.
