29 CFR 1926.503(a)(2)(i): Each employee on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical surface) with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level shall be protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. (a)First Dakota Enterprises, Inc. at Hilgers Gulch Sanitary Sewer Line Project, Pierre, SD 57501: On or about and at times prior to June 29, 2017, the employer did not ensure that each employee on a walking/working surface with an unprotected side or edge which was 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level was not protected from falling by the use of a guardrail system, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system. Employees were standing on top of an 12 gauge 84-inch Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) with headwall during the connection and installation process. This condition exposed the employee to a fall hazard of approximately 7 feet based on back-filling around the CMP.
