With Proposed Fines of $127,000, OSHA Targets Pike Electric
Federal safety officials have tagged Mount Airy, N.C.-based Pike Electric Corp. as a repeat violator of safety regulations, proposing fines of $127,000 against the contractor. The proposed fines came after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently cited the company for using defective equipment and failing to use safe practices at four of Pikes jobsites in Florida and Georgia.
The alleged violations involved four jobsites, three of which saw workers sustain serious injuries, says Benjamin Ross, OSHAs assistant regional administrator for enforcement programs.
