OSHA describes MJC (operating as Sunpro Solar) as a residential solar panel installation contractor.
MJC is stated to have been cited for a repeat violation after inspectors found workers exposed to falls. Additional alleged violations include:
- Allowing workers to climb up and down extension ladders while carrying loads that could have caused them to fall.

OSHA is proposing to assess $160,913 in penalties for the alleged violations.
