The U.S. Department of Labor has reached a settlement agreement to resolve litigation following a March 2022 investigation at a work site in Wheeling, W.Va. that resulted in a dozen citations issued against an Ohio-based contractor with an extensive history of allegedly exposing workers to deadly falls.

On four occasions in less than three months in 2023, U.S. Department of Labor inspectors observed a Millersburg roofing contractor allegedly exposing workers to deadly fall hazards of up to 19 feet at four residential roofing job sites in Canton, Uniontown and Westlake, despite having fall protection equipment available on site.
