ALJ Decision in S & R Enterprises, LLC, OSHRC Docket No. 20-0276, Becomes a Final Order of the Commission.

S&R Enterprises, LLC, is a steel erection contractor. Around 2017, S&R began work as a subcontractor erecting structural steel on a renovation project at the decommissioned Riverside Power Plant in Savannah, Georgia. The new owner was repurposing the power plant as a luxury hotel that would be part of a new mixed-use development. On June 23, 2019, an S&R crew attempted to lift an industrial grappler (a giant steel claw), weighing over five tons, to a hook suspended from an overhead crane in the room destined to become the new hotel’s atrium lobby.
