Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(d)(3)(vii): Tiebacks were not equivalent in strength to the suspension ropes: (a) On or about October 10, 2024, and at times prior, at 901 North 9th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53203, the tiebacks in the suspended scaffolding system were not equivalent in strength to the suspension ropes, in-that the 12 tiebacks were connected to a single steel cable. The steel cable was wrapped around the parapet wall on the north side of the building and was rated for 30,000 lbs. The steel cable line is connected with a Crosby 3/4" D-ring shackle which derated the line to 14,000 lbs., exposing employees to a scaffold collapse and fall hazard.
