Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008B Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): "Residential construction." Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system unless another provision in paragraph (b) of this section provides for an alternative fall protection measure. Exception: When the employer can demonstrate that it is infeasible or creates a greater hazard to use these systems, the employer shall develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of 1926.502. a. On or about May 22, 2018, located at the Grant Park Apartments at apartment building 2A, employees were performing masonry work from the roof of the apartment complex without any means of fall protection, thereby exposing the employees to a fall hazard of approximately 35 feet.
