Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.502(d)(15): Anchorage used for attachment for personal fall arrest equipment was not capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached nor was it designed, installed and used as follows: As part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of a qualified person: (a)Signet Builders, Inc. @ 25036 438th St., Salem, SD 57058: On January 20, 2016, the exposing employer did not ensure the anchorage was designed and installed to maintain a safety factor of at least two. Employees utilized a cross arm strap or d-strap wrapped around the apex of the top chord of truss and 2x4 purlin to install roof line insulation. The end of the strap continued and terminated on to the purlin. The connection point for the self-retracting lifeline and support during a fall event would allow the load to be transmitted to the 2x4 purlin which would not maintain a safety factor of at least two. The condition exposed employees to a fall hazard of approximately 20 feet.
