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 was not protected by guardrail systems, safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems, or an alternative fall protection measure under another provision of paragraph 1926.501(b), nor did the employer demonstrate that it was infeasible or created a greater hazard to use these systems and develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of section 1926.502. 13 Construction & Pro Services LLC: The employer is failing to protect employees from elevated fall hazards. The condition was most recently observed on or about October 31, 2023, when six employees were observed roofing a residential building at 514 Forest Park Drive in Wentzville, Missouri. The employer did not utilize guardrail systems, a safety net system, or a personal fall arrest system. The employees were observed on the roof of the building, at heights of approximately 8 feet and greater, without fall protection and thus exposed to fall hazards.
