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

29 CFR 1910.28(b)(6)(i):Dangerous equipment. The employer must ensure: (i) Each employee less than 4 feet (1.2 m) above dangerous equipment is protected from falling into or onto the dangerous equipment by a guardrail system or a travel restraint system, unless the equipment is covered or guarded to eliminate the hazard. a) On or about May 23, 2023, the employer did not protect employees from falling into dangerous equipment while performing work on the ceiling mounted exhaust fan for the Tree Wash. The Tree Wash interior held corrosive chemicals in the floor, had piping that include nozzles mounted on the wall and included fixed plumbing that employees could fall into, onto and through while performing elevated work that required reaching overhead. Due to this condition, exposed employees are exposed to chemical and fall hazards that can result in chemical burn, sprains, broken bones and lacerations.
