When injuries and deaths occur on construction sites, OSHA will often initiate an investigation in order to determine the cause of the accident and further determine if the employer(s) committed any OSHA safety violations. If safety violations are discovered, then the employer(s) working on the construction site are subject to penalties and fines.
