Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
Section 40.1-51.1.(a)-Code of Virginia: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to a possible fall hazard while working on a ladder with a broken side rail that had not been inspected for possible defects. "One feasible method of abatement among others would be to initiate a ladder inspection program and train employees to recognize the hazards associated with working on defective ladders."
