A construction company whose employee died after falling out of an elevator has been cited for safety violations.
WBTV-TV reports that the North Carolina Department of Labor announced that Gilbane Building Company is required to pay $20,300 in fines in connection with 24-year-old Juventino Mata-Hernandez’s May death.
Mata-Hernandez fell around 20 stories from a building that was under construction. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The department says safety violations include a bridging device not being secured to a hoist, mechanical issues with the hoist and the employer not maintaining programs for inspections.
Department spokeswoman Mary Katherine Revels says Gilbane has requested an informal conference.
