A Long Branch construction contractor with a history of ignoring federal fall safety standards has again been found exposing employees to potentially deadly fall hazards in eight work site inspections, the Labor Department announced Wednesday.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration opened the eight inspections of Road Contractor Corp. in Evesham, Freehold, Manalapan, Marlton, Mullica Hill, and Rumson, according to the announcement.

In the eight inspections, OSHA investigators identified 32 safety violations and proposed $819,417 in penalties. In each, the agency found the company failed to provide workers with required fall safety protection, DOL said.
