Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.23(e)(1): A standard railing shall consist of top rail, intermediate rail, and posts, and shall have a vertical height of 42 inches nominal from upper surface of top rail to floor, platform, runway, or ramp level. The top rail shall be smooth-surfaced throughout the length of the railing. The intermediate rail shall be approximately halfway between the top rail and the floor, platform, runway, or ramp. The platform railing that would prevent employees from gaining access to the accumulator top railing was at 41 inches and there was no mid-rail. This exposed employees to a fall hazard greater then 4ft into the revolving metal accumulator. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
