Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2): The employer did not instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his/her environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury: The employer does not protect each employee required to work from elevations during residential construction activities 6 feet or more above lower levels by instructing each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury. 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2) a) This most recently occurred on or about January 7, 2021, at a job site located at 1336 Skyland Falls, Hinckley, Ohio 441233. Employees were exposed to the hazard of falling approximately two stories (22 feet) from the roof of a residential home during the installation of roofing materials. The employer did not instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of the unsafe condition. To abate this hazard in the future, the employer must ensure employees are provided with, and required to use, fall protection in accordance with this standard, and that all employees are instructed in the recognition and avoidance of fall hazards. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including an explanation of how these steps protect its employees from fall hazards.
