Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.502(d)(16)(ii): Personal fall arrest systems, when stopping a fall, did not limit the maximum arresting force on an employee to 1800 pounds (8kn) when used with a body harness: On or about 08/04/2016, an employee was using a shock absorbing lanyard as part of a fall arrest system. The shock absorbing part of the lanyard had been previously activated, thereby exposing employees to arresting forces of greater than 1800 pounds in the event of a fall.
