Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.29(b)(1): The top edge height of top rails, or equivalent guardrail system members, were not 42 inches, plus or minus 3 inches, above the walking-working surface. On or about 12 April 2017, and at times prior thereto, various portions of a guardrail system employed chains instead of structural steel. The chain rails had deflections in multiple sections resulting in the minimum top edge height to be less than 39 inches, exposing the workers to a fall hazard of approximately 7 feet 6 inches to the concrete floor below.
