Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(b)(2)(i): Each ladder jack scaffold, top plate bracket scaffold, roof bracket scaffold, and pump jack scaffold was not at least 12 inches (30 cm) wide: a. Site - On or about June 23, 2016, the planks on the ladder-jack scaffold were 10 1/2 inches wide. The employer routinely fails to assure effective protection against falls as required by the standard, as demonstrated on June 23, 2016, when employees were working on a platform which was not 12 inches wide at 5 Longfellow Drive, Bethlehem, NH 03574. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that all ladder jack scaffolds are at least 12 inches wide. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including and explanation of how these steps protect employees from fall hazards.
