29 CFR 1926.760(b)(3): Each connector was not provided, at heights over 15 and up to 30 feet above a lower level, with a personal fall arrest system, positioning device system or fall restraint system, and did not wear the equipment necessary to be able to be tied off; or was not provided with other means of protection from fall hazards in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section: On or about September 9, 2023: Employees engaged in remodeling and restoration activities at the worksite located at 16281 Hwy 13, Jameson, Missouri were exposed to fall hazards in that the employer did not ensure each employee working over 15 feet and below 30 feet were wearing the fall protection equipment necessary for them to safely protect themselves against fall hazards. The result of this failure was evident on this day when an employee who did not have fall protection fell more than 15 feet suffering fatal injuries.
