OSHA said it has filed $877,000 in penalties with its citations against 160 Broadway Corp., which does business as Broadway Concrete. The New York City-headquartered company is the concrete contractor for the construction of 77 Hudson, a project involving two 50-story condominium towers in Jersey City, N.J. The company is owned by Robert Cassera, who also owns Tri-State Employment Service and several other businesses, OSHA said.

The agency's investigation began Dec. 19, 2007, in response to a complaint alleging employees were exposed to fall hazards. Investigators found there was not adequate fall protection for employees exposed to falls from as high as 25 stories above the ground or protection from protruding rebar, OSHA alleged.
