Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.29(b)(10): (10) When guardrail systems are used at hoist areas, a removable guardrail section, consisting of a top rail and midrail, are placed across the access opening between guardrail sections when employees are not performing hoisting operations. The employer may use chains or gates instead of a removable guardrail section at hoist areas if the employer demonstrates the chains or gates provide a level of safety equivalent to guardrails: a) On or about March 22, 2019, the edge of the loading area for the Production Aisle Mezzanine Area near Pallet Storage Area AF-2 nine feet above the floor was guarded by a single chain at the height of a top rail. There was not a midrail installed.
