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. Daniels Roofing & Framing LLC located in Rockford, Illinois does not ensure that employees engaged in residential roofing activities are protected from fall hazards. This violation was most recently observed on or about August 29, 2022, at a worksite located at 600 E. Carrington Ln, Appleton Wisconsin 54913, employees were performing residential roofing activities without any form of conventional fall protection while exposed to falls of approximately 18 feet seven inches.
