This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Primoris Services Corp., through its subsidiary Primoris T&D Services LLC, was cited by OSHA following a fatal worker electrocution during utility pole replacement work in Seminole, Florida, on August 12, 2025. A crew was replacing a utility pole when equipment contacted an energized overhead transmission line, killing one lineman and injuring two additional workers. OSHA issued citations for three serious violations: failure to ensure employees maintained required minimum approach distances from energized parts, failure to assign a designated observer to monitor those distances, and failure to ensure job briefings covered precautions for work beneath energized transmission lines. The proposed penalties totaled $49,650. As of March 2026 Primoris has contested the citations before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
