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 toeboards, 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 April 25, 2023, on-site employees performed masonry work on a scaffold with no toe boards. Employees were not protected from falling objects on the scaffold's upper platforms.
