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 is infeasible or creates 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 November 2, 2023, when five employees were observed working on a two-story single-family residential building at 318 Regents Park Avenue in Wentzville, Missouri, 63385. 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 greater than or equal to ten feet without fall protection, and thus exposed to falls to the ground below.
