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

29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): Each employee(s) engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels were not protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system, nor were employee(s) provided with an alternative fall protection measure under another provision of paragraph 1926.501 (b): The employer does not require any form of fall protection during roofing work. This violation was most recently observed on December 20, 2023, at a jobsite located at 338 Moorland Hills Road Chagrin Falls, OH 44022, where employees were not protected from fall hazards of 24 feet to the ground. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that its employees performing roofing work are protected from falls, and that no employee is allowed onto a roof more than 6 feet high without adequate fall protection.
