Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.451(b)(1): Each platform on all working levels of scaffolds was not fully planked or decked between the front uprights and the guardrail supports as specified in paragraphs 1926.451(b)(1)(i)-(ii) a) On or about October 19, 2016, the employer failed to ensure the supported scaffolding level from which an employee was performing bridge blasting operations was fully planked. The employer had laid aluminum picks (working platforms) across approximately 5 foot scaffolding frames. The use of a single pick left the remaining width of the 5ft. frame open to the ground below, exposing employees to a fall of approximately 20 feet.
