Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(1)(i):(1) Unprotected sides and edges. (i) Except as provided elsewhere in this section, the employer must ensure that each employee on a walking-working surface with an unprotected side or edge that is 4 feet (1.2 m) or more above a lower level is protected from falling: On or about March 9, 2021, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected from a fall from height of greater than 4 feet down into the sloped pit at the loading dock area. Dock chains were down and the employer did not implement equivalent conventional or personal fall protection systems to address fall hazard. Employees worked and walked up to the unprotected edge of the pit and used a portable industrial stair/ladder to get into and out of the pit at various times during the day.
