In the eyes of OSHA, the builder is the “controlling employer” and is responsible for ensuring all contractors meet requirements. If your foundation contractor is hit with an OSHA violation, you’ll get the same fine – on the first violation. On the second, your fine could be ten times higher, and on the third, it could be 100 times higher.

The only way to protect yourself is to work with contractors who are OSHA compliant. At Por Mor we strive to meet all safety requirements and are committed to ongoing education. We are trained to check the excavation work completed before we arrive to ensure it meets all requirements. If it does not meet all requirements, we will not start the foundation until it does. Why? Because we think it’s vital to protect ourselves, and you, from accidents, injuries, and fines.
