29 CFR 1910.29(b)(1): 29 CFR 1910.29(b)(1): A top rail, or equivalent guardrail system member, 42 inches (107 cm), plus or minus 3 inches (8 cm), above the walking-working surface was not installed: At a worksite located at 111 W Fountain Rd., Webb City, MO: Employees were exposed to fall hazards. The employer is failing to ensure that employee are protected from falling while working on surfaces that were elevated over 4 feet. This was demonstrated on February 12, 2020 when an employee was permitted to use the ladder to reach a platform located in the grinding area with an unprotected sides or edges. This platform is located approximately 8 feet above the concrete floor and contains short railings that only come to the employees waist (38 inches).
