Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.502(d)(11): Lifelines were not protected against being cut or abraded: b) Ruscilli Construction Company Inc. located at 230 E. Long Street, Columbus, OH 43215: During the period between July 2019 and December 12, 2019, the controlling employer did not ensure that vertical lifelines used by its subcontractor for fall protection at or near leading edges were protected against being cut. A vertical lifeline, rope grab was used as a personal fall arrest system (PFAS) by the framing crews near 90 degree leading edges while installing parapet walls and wood decking at heights beyond six feet. The lifeline was not protected from being cut by the 90 degree edge in the event of a fall. The following condition exposed the sub-contractor employees to falls up to 70 feet.
