13 Construction & Pro Services LLC — Six Willful Fall Protection Violations Across Five Worksites in Seven Weeks (2023–2024)
Outcome: 13 Construction & Pro Services LLC was cited for 26 OSHA violations — 6 willful and 20 serious — and fined $258,063 after inspectors documented workers without fall protection on roofs above six feet at five separate Wentzville, Missouri residential worksites over a seven-week period in late 2023.
OSHA inspectors documented a pattern at 13 Construction & Pro Services LLC, incorporated in 2021 and operating in the Wentzville, Missouri area. On three inspection occasions — October 31, November 2, and December 14, 2023 — inspectors found workers at six residential worksites performing roofing work without required fall protection at heights exceeding six feet. No competent person inspections were being conducted, workers lacked training on fall hazards, ladder use was unsafe, and workers were not provided required head protection or eye and face protection for pneumatic tool operations.
OSHA issued six willful violations (one per identified egregious exposure instance) and 20 serious violations for the full range of safety deficiencies. The proposed penalty of $258,063 reflected the repeated, knowing disregard of fall protection requirements across multiple sites and multiple inspection encounters.

How Crucible Prevents This
Five separate worksites in seven weeks with the same fall protection violations indicates a company operating without any systematic compliance process — no pre-work checklists, no competent person inspections, no fall protection inventory. Crucible's pre-work session gate requiring documented fall protection plan sign-off before any worker accesses a roof elevation above six feet would interrupt this pattern at the project-authorization level rather than waiting for a site inspector.
