Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.501(b)(11): "Steep roofs." Each employee on a steep roof with unprotected sides and edges 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected from falling by guardrail systems with toeboards, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. Hector Hernandez does not ensure each employee on a steep pitch roof, with unprotected sides and edges, is protected from falling by an acceptable form of fall protection. The employer does not require the use of complete and properly installed fall protection during roofing work. This most recently occurred on October 22, 2018, at 1151 Badger St., Kaukauna, Wisconsin. Employees performing repairs to roof on a commercial building were exposed to falls when personal fall arrest systems were not used by all employees and none of the employees were properly using their personal fall arrest systems.
