Employees were observed working on the very edge of the roof without any fall protection system. The roof was 19 feet above ground level. b.At Cluster A-5, House #4 - Two employees were exposed to a fall hazard while working on the roof of the first story of a house under construction while removing concrete forms. Employees were observed working 30 inches from the edge without any fall protection system. The roof was 8 feet above ground level. Among others, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to provide the exposed workers with safety belts, lanyards and lifelines.
