Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b): Protection from fall hazards- 29 CFR 1910.28(b)(6): Dangerous equipment. The employer must ensure: 29 CFR 1910.28(b)(6)(i) Each employee less than 4 feet (1.2 m) above dangerous equipment is protected from falling into or onto the dangerous equipment by a guardrail system or a travel restraint system, unless the equipment is covered or guarded to eliminate the hazard. On or about August 6, 2018, the employer failed to provide protection from falling into the reverb furnace trough on the west side of the trough catwalk. The catwalk walking-working surface was immediately adjacent to the trough and posed a same level fall into the dangerous equipment. Due to this condition, employees were at increased risk to molten aluminum metal burns.
