Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.29(b)(2)(iv): The employer did not ensure that other equivalent intermediate members of guardrail systems (such as additional midrails and architectural panels) were installed so that the openings were not more than 19 inches (48 cm) wide. a) On or about January 25, 2020 and times prior, an employee accessed the top of the sandbox to open/close the lid and collect samples. The SafeRack's gangway cage was not adequately adjusted which resulted in a gap of approximately 2 1/2 to 3 feet between the bottom of the cage and the top of the sandbox exposing employees to a fall of 11 feet 9 inches to the ground.
