Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.102(a)(1):The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation. The employer does not protect each employee from struck-by hazards such as potential eye or face injury from physical, chemical, or radiation agents while installing roofing material with hand tools such as hammers and staplers. This most recently occurred on October 15, 2021; during the installation of roofing material at the job site located at 1031 Minuteman Ave NW, Massillon, Ohio 44646; the employer did not ensure employees working on the roof of a single family home were protected from possible danger of eye injury from impact, or from flying objects from the employees installing roofing material with hand tools and staplers.
