Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(c)(3): Supported scaffold poles, legs, post, frames, and/or uprights were not plumb and braced to prevent swaying and displacement: (a) The employer does not require scaffolds to be plumbed or braced, such that it would prevent them from swaying; or becoming displaced. This violation was most recently observed on May 31, 2013 and June 3, 2013 at the worksite located at 1900 Northern Boulevard in Manhasset, NY where employees were working from the northeast fabricated frame scaffold, which was not vertically plumb and exposed the employees to falls of 26'-6" to the ground below. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that its scaffolds are plumb or braced to prevent them from swaying or becoming displaced, and that no employee accesses a scaffold until this protection is provided.
