Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.503(a)(1): The employer does not provide a training program for each employee potentially exposed to fall hazards to enable each employee to recognize the hazards of falling and the procedures to be followed in order to minimize these hazards: a) Mike Krueger dba Altogether Roofing: The employer does not ensure that employees have been trained in the appropriate use of fall protection such as but not limited to the use of personal fall arrest systems or alternative measures while performing roofing operations from elevated surfaces greater than six feet from the level below. This violation was most recently observed on August 23, 2017, at the address of 2638 Springwater Dr., Toledo, Ohio where employees exposed to an approximately 19 feet fall were not trained on the appropriate use of fall protection. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that its employees performing work from elevated surfaces are trained on the methods and means of identifying and avoiding fall hazards. Mike Krueger dba Altogether Roofing was previously cited for a violation of this Occupational Safety and Health Standard 1926.503(a)(1), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1177422, citation number 2, item number 2b and was affirmed as a final order on March 3, 2017, with respect to a workplace located at 10429 White Oak Dr. Perrysburg, OH.
