Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 the hazards of a fall from elevation: a) On or about 11/02/2010, an employee was exposed to a fall of approximately 18 feet to the ground level below, while accessing a roof.

Use of planks, ladders, or any devices on the platform for achieving additional height or reach shall be prohibited.
