OSHA Investigation of Fatal Fall Leads to Citations for Electrical Hazards
OSHA’s investigation of Jersey City Medical Center worker’s fatal fall finds the facility allegedly exposed employees to dangerous electrical hazards.
OSHA began an inspection of Jersey City Medical Center RWJ Barnabas Health in Jersey City, N.J. on June 28, 2016, after the employer notified the agency that a worker needed to be hospitalized after falling from a ladder as he changed an overhead ballast in a light fixture. The worker later died from his injuries on July 17, 2016.
