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

29 CFR 1926.501(b)(4)(i):Each employee on walking/working surfaces was not protected from falling through holes (including skylights), more than six feet (1.8 m) above lower levels, by personal fall arrest systems, covers, or guardrail systems erected around such holes: (a) Vision Air HVAC Inc. DBA Vision Mechanical at 1050 35th LN Pueblo, CO 81006: On or before 11/21/22 Vision Air HVAC Inc. DBA Vision Mechanical failed to protect employees from injury in that employees did not use personal fall arrest systems or other acceptable means of fall protection or guarding for two skylights on the first level of roof at the Pueblo County High School. An employee fell through an unguarded skylight, constructed of a 1/8" translucent bubble made of Plexiglas or similar, and fell 13'2" onto the concrete floor beneath. Two employees then removed the bubbles and installed rigid, permanent covers over both skylight openings without using a fall protection system. These conditions exposed employees to fall hazards greater than 13 feet. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item.
