Construction Industry Defenses to OSHA Citations
If you are facing an OSHA citation for violations of safety or environmental codes at your construction site, you have the right to stand up and defend yourself vigorously to protect your reputation and your capacity to bid on major government contracts. A minor violation may not seem like much, but if your record continues to be a black spot, sanctions may be imposed, locking you out of the bidding processes.
General Industry Standards and Construction Industry Standards
OSHA is set up with two separate sections: general industry standards and construction industry. The process for appealing an OSHA citation is frustrating and time consuming. Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon attorneys will handle everything, while you pay attention to your business. We investigate the citation, gather records and evidence in your favor, and handle all matters related to meeting deadlines, meetings and court appearances.
Appealing an OSHA citation is not just an administrative hearing. Unfortunately, successfully appealing the citation often requires a full-blown trial in front of a federal OSHA judge, where the final remedy is typically handed down. Your lawyer will need extensive knowledge of the process, negotiation skills and trial experience.
- Workplace safety code violations: Site preparation safety, fire safety regulations
- Land use and zoning violations: Failure to comply with zoning and land use restrictions
- Construction vehicle safety violations: Untrained or unlicensed operators, defective equipment
