Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(3)(iv): The employer had not provided that each employee be protected from falling into a ladderway floor hole or ladderway platform hole by a guardrail system and toeboards erected on all exposed sides, except at the entrance to the hole, where a self-closing gate or an offset must be used: On or about February 22, 2022, employees accessing the fixed ladder to perform crane inspections in the North Circle of the Cleaning Department in Building 56 of the Wire Mill were exposed to fall hazards of approximately 12 feet because the employer had not ensured a self-closing gate was located at the top of the fixed ladder.
