 OSHA ruled that Sound Construction failed to educate employees on trenching hazards and provide cave-in protection. OSHA then proposed over $394,000 in penalties, and now the company has 15 days to comply to citations and penalties. Sound Construction was also cited back in 2016 for violations related to trench safety at a work site in Trumbull. Connecticut volunteers for the American Red Cross are in Texas this morning helping people impacted by Hurricane Beryl.
