A client was cited by Nevada OSHA for a serious violation of a stairway standard requiring a stair rail system along each unprotected edge of a stairway under construction. The citation could have negatively impacted our client’s ability to qualify for future work. The firm immediately appealed the citation, and engaged in an informal settlement conference with the Nevada OSHA district office. Armed with project progress photographs and evidence of involvement by other subcontractors, the firm convinced Nevada OSHA to withdraw the citation in its entirety and reduce the penalty to $0.
