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

29 CFR 1910.23(c)(2): Runways four feet or more above floor or ground level were not guarded by standard railings (or the equivalent): (a) On or about June 15th, 2016, and at certain times before, employees working in the security and engineering departments at the employer's 1213 Wyandotte, Kansas City, Missouri, facility were exposed to serious fall hazards while walking on or working from the multiple catwalks above the main ballroom due to a number completely unguarded sides and edges existing at various locations throughout the catwalk array. In some locations where this hazard existed the catwalks appeared to be less than 4 feet above the next lower level, but that "lower level" was actually a suspended acoustical tile ceiling that would allow an employee to fall through to the lower floor level.
