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 ends of the rails shall not overhang the terminal posts except where such overhang does not constitute a projection hazard. (a)Esco Industries, Inc. dba Performance Seed at 854 Northwestern Ave., Midland SD 57552: On and prior to November 15, 2016, the employer did not ensure that a mid-rail was installed on a platform that accessed the area above the main bagging area for access to the hopper on the walking surface. Employees access the platform to check levels of seed and perform maintenance activities. The condition exposed employees to fall hazards in excess of four feet.
