Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.20(b)(1): The employer did not initiate and maintain such programs as may be necessary to comply with this part. Hector Hernandez has not developed and implemented safety and health programs to ensure compliance with safety Standards contained in 29 C.F.R 1926. The employer does not have programs to ensure compliance with PPE, electrical, scaffold, fall protection, and ladder requirements, and does not designate any competent person to ensure employees follow safe work practices. This most recently occurred on March 28, 2018, at Lot 25 Rivermor Dr. Sheboygan, WI. Employees roofing a steep pitch house were exposed to falls from ladders, scaffolds and the roof when personal fall arrest systems were not used by all employees and none of the employees were properly using their personal fall arrest systems. To abate this item, the employer must initiate and maintain a program, including frequent and regular inspections by competent persons it designates, to ensure that workers use appropriate safety measures. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including the names and qualifications of the persons it is designating as competent, and a description of their responsibilities.
