A contractor taking down the Government Center garage in Boston faces a potential $1.2-million OSHA fine for safety lapses that federal investigators say led to the death March 26 of an excavator operator who plunged 80 ft to his death in a partial collapse during demolition.
Brockton-based JDC Demolition, which has worked on some of the biggest projects in the Boston area, faces 11 safety violations, including eight in the “egregious-willful” category, according to a press release by the U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
