Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.24(h): Standard railings were not provided on the open sides of all exposed stairways and stair platforms: The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards associated with failing to have complete standard railings on some sections and failing to have midrails installed on other sections as part of the standard guard railing along the open sides of a fixed industrial stair case. The most recent occurrence of this was evident during the inspection of the stairway located between the south side of the main building and bins numbered 1 & 2 of the facility located at 17700 South 1st Street, Martell, NE; where the employer has employees using the stairway with inadequate guard railing as means of access and egress performing maintenance on equipment such as legs and augers located in areas where there are exposed fall hazards.
