Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels is not protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, a personal fall arrest system, or an alternative fall protection measure as provided by another provision in paragraph (b) of this section: a. Employees performing roofing work are not protected from fall hazards by the use of a fall protection system. The employer fails to assure effective protections against falls as required by the standard, as demonstrated on December 9, 2020, when employees are working on a residential roof at Lot 178, Gainesville, Florida, exposed to a 19 feet fall hazard to the ground, in that they are not attached to a personal fall protection system.
