29 CFR 1926.503(a)(1): The employer did not provide a training program for each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards: The employer does not protect each employee from fall hazards while engaged in framing work on a sloped roof and a floor deck with an unprotected side or edge, which are approximately 11 feet and 22 feet above a lower level by providing fall protection training to each employee in order to recognize hazards associated with working at an elevation and to understand procedures to control or minimize those hazards. a) This most recently occurred between April 16, 2021 and April 28, 2021, at 751 Meacham Ave., Elk Grove Village, Illinois 60007. The employer does not provide training to each employee in order to recognize hazards associated with working at an elevation and to understand procedures to control or minimize those hazards.
