The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited A.H. Sturgill Roofing Inc. of Dayton for two alleged safety violations after a worker died Aug. 22 from complications caused by heat stroke.

The 60-year-old temporary worker sustained heat stroke while working in direct sunlight on a commercial flat roof, throwing rubber roofing material into a dump truck on the ground. The worker was hospitalized due to work-related heat exposure on Aug. 1, the agency said.

The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office confirmed a 60-year-old Dayton man died Aug. 22 from the effects of hyperthermia, or elevated body temperature. Family members of the man confirmed he worked for a construction company, but could not name which one.

OSHA has issued citations in connection with five workplace fatalities in the Dayton area since Oct. 1, 2011, said Rhonda Burke, spokeswoman for the labor department. Victims’ names are not released.

The OSHA violations involve failing to provide a program addressing heat-related hazards in the workplace and to train workers on recognizing the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses, including taking preventive measures, such as consuming adequate amounts of water, according to OSHA.

A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.

The company, which faces a proposed fine of $8,820, has scheduled an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, Burke said.

The company declined immediate comment Monday.
