OSHA fined Abhe & Svoboda Inc. $189,000 for nine safety violations related to an February 8 incident at the Ross Island Bridge construction site.
Two workers were seriously injured after one fell nearly 37 feet from a suspended scaffolding system and landed on the other worker who was standing on a lower platform.
Two of the nine violations were willful while the other seven violations were cited as serious.
During the investigation, Abhe & Svobody's corporate safety manager dismissed Oregon's workplace safety rules claiming they change too often.
