Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): Each employee(s) engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels is not protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system, nor are employees provided with an alternative fall protection measure under another provision of paragraph 1926.501(b): a. ION Solar LLC. is failing to ensure that its employees are protected from fall hazards while installing solar panels at heights greater than 6 feet above a lower level. This practice led to four employees being unprotected from fall hazards on December 30, 2022, during installation operations on a two story single-family residential building on a roof that was subject to snowy/icy conditions without fall protection at 3398 Hackberry Lane Johnstown, CO 80534.
