Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(1)(i): Unprotected sides and edges. Except as provided elsewhere in this section, the employer must ensure that each employee on a walking-working surface with an unprotected side or edge that is 4 feet (1.2 m) or more above a lower level is protected from falling by guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall protection systems. On or about March 22, 2017, employees were exposed to 12 foot fall hazards when the employer required the employees to access and traverse across the tops of forty thousand pound storage tanks to check overflow amount. The employer did not require the use of fall protection. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with requirement of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
