Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.451(h)(1): Each employee on a scaffold was not provided with additional protection from falling hand tools, debris, and other small objects through the installation of toeboards, screens, guardrail systems, or through the erection of debris nets, catch platforms, or canopy structures that contain or deflect the falling objects. For falling objects too large, heavy or massive to be contained or deflected, the employer did not place and secure such potential falling objects away from the edge of the surface from which they could fall. Employees performing masonry work on the ground level were exposed to struck by hazards while other employees worked from the upper levels of a welded frame scaffold that did not have toe boards in place.
