An East Patchogue construction company will pay $144,000 in federal fines and “take substantive steps” to improve jobsite safety as part of a settlement over the death of a worker killed in a 2018 building collapse while installing roof panels.
The settlement with the U.S. Department of Labor closes a five-year investigation into Northridge Construction Corp. after the worker at company headquarters fell 12 feet in December 2018 and died after suffering sustaining a serious head injury.
