This violation was most recently observed at the east side of 1868 Frankford Street, Philadelphia PA on or about July 16, 2020 where an employee performing stucco operations on the 8th level of the fabricated frame scaffold was not protected from fall hazards of approximately fifty-six (56) feet by the use of personal fall arrest systems or guardrail systems. To abate this ongoing violation, the employer must provide and require the use of personal fall arrest systems or guardrail systems while employees are utilizing the working levels of the fabricated frame scaffold.
