Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1): The employer must submit to the Agency, along with the information on abatement certification required by paragraph (c)(3) of this section, documents demonstrating that abatement is complete for each willful or repeat violation and for any serious violation for which the Agency indicates in the citation that such abatement documentation is required. a. The employer has failed to submit abatement certification and documentation within ten days of the abatement date, April 26, 2019, for a violation of 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13), issued as citation 1, item 1, and described as follows: 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): "Residential construction." Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system unless another provision in paragraph (b) of this section provides for an alternative fall protection measure. Exception: When the employer can demonstrate that it is infeasible or creates a greater hazard to use these systems, the employer shall develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of 1926.502. Note: There is a presumption that it is feasible and will not create a greater hazard to implement at least one of the above-listed fall protection systems. Accordingly, the employer has the burden of establishing that it is appropriate to implement a fall protection plan which complies with 1926.502(k) for a particular workplace situation, in lieu of implementing any of those systems. The employer does not protect each employee from the hazard of falling by the use of fall protection systems. This most recently occurred on March 13, 2019, at the residential site located at 7336 Connor Avenue in Canal Winchester, Ohio. The employer failed to ensure employees performing framing work onsite were protected from falls while sheathing roof trusses and working at unprotected window openings.
