Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.501(a)(2):The employer shall determine if the walking/working surfaces on which its employees are to work have the strength and structural integrity to support employees safely. Employees shall be allowed to work on those surfaces only when the surfaces have the requisite strength and structural integrity. On or about December 23, 2021, the employer failed to ensure the cover of a hole adjacent to a permanent ladder in the area of the Skip Hoist Construction Project located at 8826 US-24 Mapleton, IL 61547, had the strength and structural integrity to support employees safely. The hole measured approximately 6.5 feet wide and 10 feet long, with a 24-foot, 6-inch drop to a lower level, and was covered with ?-inch thick plywood intended only as weather protection for the area below.
