Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(3)(iv): The employer did not provide that each employee be protected from falling into a ladderway floor hole or ladderway platform hole by a guardrail system and toeboards erected on all exposed sides, except at the entrance to the hole, where a self-closing gate or an offset must be used. On the third floor of the facility, next to the M63 machine, employees were exposed to fall hazards of approximately 8.5 feet. The self-closing mechanism of the gate guarding the fixed ladderway floor hole was not functional, allowing the gate to remain open approximately 11 inches.
