The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has fined an Orange-based concrete subcontractor more than $185,000 due to a June 2 partial building collapse on Lafayette Street. A U.S. Department of Labor spokesman said in an email Thursday that the OSHA investigation is complete. However, it is still considered an open investigation to provide the company time to respond. The report lists seven violations carrying a total of $185,633 in fines. The website notes that violations may be added or deleted. The principal of Seven Concrete, LLC, the nonunion subcontractor under OSHA investigation, could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday. Four of the listed citations carry individual fines of $12,031 and cite failing to include ramp area drawings on-site for workers, not having a structural design engineer inspect shoring elements and failing to conduct an inspection before the pouring of concrete. Two further citations for $8,595 charge the employer with providing guardrails that provided insufficient fall protection.
