Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.29(g)(3): Cages and wells are designed, constructed, and maintained to contain employees in the event of a fall, and to direct them to a lower landing: The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards. This was most recently documented on December 18, 2019 when the employer did not maintain the ladder cage surrounding a fixed ladder in the Dust Tank area (southeast side of plant by the rails) located at 15662 258th Road, Cummings, Kansas. Employees climbing the fixed ladder were exposed to fall hazards between 7 to 17 feet from the ground.
