Concrete Company Sentenced After Worker Death

A Freetown concrete company, John Oliveira & Sons Stamp Concrete, Inc., faces 18 months of probation and $115,000 in restitution after admitting to willfully violating OSHA safety standards — a preventable tragedy that killed an employee in September 2023. The worker was crushed by a malfunctioning conveyor on a soil screener, despite prior equipment failures including a ruptured hydraulic line and previous shutdowns. No safety measures were in place to prevent the fatal incident, exposing a glaring disregard for worker safety. The sentencing underscores the deadly consequences of ignoring safety protocols — and the company’s ongoing probation ensures accountability as it rebuilds its safety culture.
