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

29 CFR 1926.100(a): Employees working in areas where there was a possible danger of head injury from impact, or falling or flying objects, or from electrical shock and burns, were not protected by protective helmets: The employer fails to ensure employees are protected from stuck-by hazards by wearing protective helmets when engaged in framing activities for residential construction. This was most recently documented on March 12, 2025, at 9631 Wilkinson Ct. Maize, KS, where employees working below other employees engaged in framing activities not provided with head protection and therefore were exposed to struck-by hazards. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure its employees engaged in residential construction wear hard hats while working below other employees when potential for struck-by hazards exist. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance at future worksites, including a description of how these steps protect its employees from struck by hazards. Brent Lawrenz DBA BML Construction was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1926.100(a), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1495225, citation number 1, item number 2 and was affirmed as a final order on 03/25/2021, with respect to a workplace located at 6532 W. Palmetto Wichita, KS.
