Contractors in Maine and New Hampshire have been cited by federal regulators for safety violations at a residential construction site in Hermon in which one employee was electrocuted and another injured.

Angel Valespi, 24, of Portland was killed and Robert McLeod of Harrington suffered serious injuries on Sept. 12, 2007, while working on a modular home that was in contact with a crane that bumped into overhead power lines. Officials said at the time that high winds were believed to have been a factor.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced Tuesday it has cited J&S Carpentry of Columbia and Irving Equipment Inc. of Hampton, N.H., for 15 alleged violations of safety standards. The two contractors face proposed fines totaling $121,500.
