A federal prosecutor has charged a small apartment developer-contractor and its owner with a willful violation of safety rules over a 2017 jobsite collapse in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., that killed a worker.
The company, OneKey LLC, has for several years been contesting a proposed $280,000 federal fine related to the fatality. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Review Commission had upheld the fine in a draft order but had not made a final decision.
