Over the past 12 months, OSHA issued 90 fall protection citations to Alabama employers under the 1926.501 standard, with penalties averaging $4,334 and a median of $3,405. Eighteen of those citations were classified as Repeat violations, a category that draws far steeper fines than a first-time Serious citation. Spanish Fort saw more of these citations than any other city in the state, but the pattern shows up everywhere framing and roofing crews are working above six feet.
