Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.501(b)(4)(i): Each employee on walking/working surfaces was not protected from falling through holes (including skylights), more than six feet (1.8 m) above lower levels, by personal fall arrest systems, covers, or guardrail systems erected around such holes. (a)Sentry Crane Services at 123 Jackrabbit Place, Clear Lake, SD 57226: On or about and at times prior to January 15, 2022, the employer did not ensure employees were protected from falls while installing a steam chest component through the roof of a feed mill that was being constructed. One employee stepped on a loose portion of frost-covered roofing steel and fell through the existing hole, striking the steel mezzanine below and then continuing to the concrete below that. This condition exposed two employees to falls of greater than six feet to concrete below, and resulted in one employee being hospitalized.
