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

29 CFR 1926.502(d)(15): Anchorage used for attachment for personal fall arrest equipment was not capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached nor was it designed, installed and used as follows: As part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of a qualified person. The employer is failing to ensure employees are protected from fall hazards on site. This was most recently documented at 904 Deer Run Lane Papillion, Nebraska on or about May 29, 2018 when the employer had employees working on the roof of this residence tying two employees to one anchorage point designed to hold the arrested weight of one person. Employees are allowed to overload the anchorage points while conducting installation of shingles as part of re-roofing operations. More than one worker is being allowed to tie off to an anchorage point on the roof of the structure in which they were working on. These anchor points are only designed for one person to be tied to them at a time. The workers were exposed to falls of over 11 feet to the ground below.
