Donation Center of the Salvation Army and used goods store in Orlando, FL, on the West Colonial Drive
The Salvation Army, an international Christian non -profit organization, has to pay more than $ 120,000 in terms of punishment after the avoidable death of Orlando who suffered a fatal decline in the work last year.
According to Osha, a federal federal agency, the 54-year-old employed male maintenance worked on the morning of November 7, 2024 to locate and repair a roof leak in the donation center of the Salvation Army on the West Colonial Drive when he fell out of the roof by a skylight from the roof. The man suffered a fatal head trauma after landing on the concrete floor of the facility.
The federal authority, which was commissioned to investigate deaths at the workplace, later identified five violations of health and safety regulations at the workplace in the Orlando donation center. A press release from OSHA listed a failure of the non -profit organization to assess the risk of workplace and the failure to evaluate employees for autumn protection. The non-profit organization, which was exposed to a total of $ 120,817 compared to punishment, could not report the death at the workplace in the Osha in the obligatory eight-hour window, and a Hazard communication program was missing.
The donation business of the Salvation Army has no answer to a request for comments from Orlando weekly From the publication.
Florida does not have its own security agency for the state workplace-like-the-way gouvernur Jeb Bush abolished this about 25 years ago, so that the state of 11.2 million is only based on the OSHA of the Federal Agency, an agency that suffers from almost low personnel level in order to force the safety rules at the workplace and to quote companies for security breaches. According to an annual report by the AFL-CIO, the country's largest union association, the nation, the Osha employees is only one job inspector for 84,937 employees in the USA.
The agency suffered a significant decline in inspectors during the first Trump administration, and the recent budget budget proposal would reduce the assertiveness of the federal government by 13 percent, according to an analysis by the former Osha official Jordan Barab. The current personnel staff of the OSHA, based on the latest data created by the AFL-CIO, leave the agency just enough employees to inspect all US jobs every 185 years.
“Workers Fougt and Died for Generations for the Health and Safety Laws and Protections We have today, and this report shows we need more. The Trump Administration and Doge are gutting the Federal Agencies that Hold Bosses Accountable for Endangering Workers Research Health Hazards, Indicating that they will repeal crucial Worker Safety Regulations, and Giving Billionaires Like Elon Musk the Power to Access and Even Manipulate Osha Whistleblower recordings, ”said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler in a press release in April.
“We cannot bring back the thousands of employees who are lost every year, but we can fight to prevent working families in this country more devastation and demand that the Trump government are reversed.”
According to Osha data, falls are one of the main causes of deaths at the workplace, followed by transport accidents. In the United States, 5,283 deaths were recorded in the workplace in 2023, for which extensive death data are available.
The Salvation Army, a non -profit organization that serves around 30 million Americans annually, is a repetitional offender and was allegedly discriminated against by the Federal Government before the violation of the security requirements in the workplace and a worker in Ann Arbor, Michigan, illegally.
