Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.29(b)(1): (1) The top edge height of top rails, or equivalent guardrail system members, are 42 inches (107 cm), plus or minus 3 inches (8 cm), above the walking-working surface. The top edge height may exceed 45 inches (114 cm), provided the guardrail system meets all other criteria of paragraph (b) of this section (see Figure D-11). On or about 10 April 2020, the employer did not ensure that the guardrail around the transfer pit was at the standard requirements of 42 inches plus/minus 3 inches. This exposed employees to a fall hazard. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
