Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(b)(1)(i): Each platform unit (e.g., scaffold plank, fabricated plank, fabricated deck, or fabricated platform) was not installed so that the space between adjacent units and the space between the platform and the uprights were no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, except where the employer can demonstrate that a wider space is necessary. On or about April 26, 2013, employees who were performing stucco work were exposed to a fall hazard. Wooden scaffold planks were not installed so that the space between adjacent units and the space between the platform and the uprights were no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide (fully decked). The fall distance to the ground where employees worked at different locations on the scaffold was approximately 15 feet.
