Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A 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 ensure that employees are protected from falling while working at heights six feet or more. This violation occurred on or about April 29, 2015, when employees were exposed to fall hazards while performing roofing work on top of a two story apartment building without a fall protection system in place. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that all employees performing construction activities at heights greater than six feet are protected from falling.
