Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(15): Walking-working surfaces not otherwise addressed. Except as provided elsewhere in this section or by other subparts of this part, the employer must ensure each employee on a walking-working surface 4 feet (1.2m) or more above a lower level is protected from falling by: (i) Guardrail systems; (ii) Safety net systems; or (iii) Personal fall protection systems, such as personal fall arrest, travel restraint, or positioning systems. At the Hazel Lane Lease well site, the employer did not ensure employees who accessed and worked from the work-over rig rod landing and rod basket areas were provided fall protection exposing them to unprotected fall hazards of approximately 75 feet.
