Company to pay $13K in fines after employee’s fatal 5-story fall

The U.S. Department of Labor reached a settlement with a company after an employee who fell from the fifth story of a multi-unit building at a worksite in Bayonne last fall died, the agency announced Thursday.

Investigators concluded that a 39-year-old worker stepped onto an elevated platform to unload materials and fell from the building’s fifth level. The agency determined the company hadn’t fully secured the platform to prevent it from dislodging or tipping, officials said. Granite & Marble Services was issued four serious citations by OSHA on Apr. 25, 2024, and later agreed to pay $13,500 in penalties, implement further enhanced abatement measures and build a safety program and fall protection plan, officials said.
