According to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Malarkey Roofing Co. in north Portland received the penalty for air quality violations spanning 10 years.
The roofing contractor's latest violation of Oregon OSHA’s 6-foot trigger-height requirement was the seventh such violation committed by the company since May 2018.
A recent rash of OSHA investigations and issued penalties should serve as a warning to roofing contractors to step up safety precautions while on the job.
