I was told by the OSHA Midwest office this is not a high priority compliance issue for them so good luck maybe the Orlando office feels differently.
Access Denied
Apparently Tampa is the OSHA office for Sumter County.

I'm sure it's not a high priority, but I happen to think business owners' have the obligation and duty to protect their workers, to the best of their ability. Everyone in the construction industry knows accidents can happen, but to knowingly put workers at risk, is unconscionable in my opinion. With what they're charging to replace a roof in TV these days, they should be able to do it right and do it safely.

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
