Now it sounds like you were aware of the violation as well. That tends to negate any claim you may have against them. That makes you as guilty of the violations as well. While OSHA does not currently cite and fine individuals, they are working towards that. You are in charge of you.They've had previous fall-protection violations over the years.
nothing unusual about that. Quite common in fact. Never seen a sign "authorized personnel only". Well, you 3 were authorized, everybody else wasn't.They obviously knew employees weren't supposed to walk on these slopes and then made an exception for the 3 of us
so, if the violation was knowing and willful:
did you sign a release? If so, unlikely. If not, be my guest. Of course, you are only due your damages which likely have already been addressed.Can I renegotiate the settlement I received last year
