Federal workplace safety regulators on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, proposed $1.3 million in penalties for the construction company that employed two men who died when they were struck by a dump truck and pushed into a 9-foot (2.75-meter) deep trench at a sewer project in Boston in February, according to the Associated Press.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Atlantic Coast Utilities LLC/Advanced Utilities Inc., owner Laurence Moloney, and two associated companies for what it called “a long history of ignoring the safety and health of its employees.”
