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

29 CFR 1926.1203(a): Before it begins work at a worksite, the employer did not ensure a competent person identified all confined spaces in which one or more of the employees it directs may work, and identified each space that is a permit space, through consideration and evaluation of the elements of that space, including testing as necessary. On or about May 4, 2018, the employer did not ensure a competent person evaluated the workplace to determine if the elevator shaft where an employee was working was a confined space. This exposed the employee to hazardous conditions such as, but not limited to, walking/working surfaces and fall protection.
