Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005B Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.454(a)(3): The employer shall have each employee who performs work while on a scaffold trained by a person qualified in the subject matter to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards. The training shall include the proper use of the scaffold, and the proper handling of materials on the scaffold. The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards. World Wrecking had not conducted fall hazard training for employees utilizing a single-point suspension scaffold to access an empty elevator shaft. Employees had not been trained by a competent person in the correct procedures for installing a vertical lifeline and rope grab fall arrest system.Two employees were not wearing an adequate fall protection system when the scaffold failed on 6/4/2018.
