Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.451(h)(1): Each employee on a scaffold was not provided with additional protection from falling hand tools, debris, and other small objects through the installation of toe-boards, screens, guardrail systems, or through the erection of debris nets, catch platforms, or canopy structures that contain or deflect the falling objects. For falling objects too large, heavy or massive to be contained or deflected, the employer did not place and secure such potential falling objects away from the edge of the surface from which they could fall. On or about March 24, 2021, and at times prior thereto and times thereafter, at the construction site, the employer did not ensure that protective measures were provided on all working levels and areas to prevent bricks, tools and other material from falling to lower levels where employees performed masonry work on a five (5) tier scaffold system exposing them to struck-by hazards.
