The top edge height may exceed 45 inches (114 cm), provided the guardrail system meets all other criteria of paragraph (b) of this section (see Figure D11 of this section). a) The employer fails to ensure effective measures to prevent falls into dangerous equipment and caught-in hazards as demonstrated at Wig Wag 2, on or about May 15, 2024, and times prior; where approximately 27-inches of the top rail was missing at the catwalk. To abate this hazard, the employer must ensure that all guardrails are in place.
