Employees were not tied in until the work was completed and the employee returned to the ground. The recommendation for this practice is contained in ANSI Z133.1-1994, Paragraph 9.1.7. The long line was not positioned directly above the work or as close to such a position as possible. The recommendation for this practice is located in ANSI Z133.1-1994, Paragraph 9.1.3. The employer did not familiarize employees with the requirements in ANSI Z133.1-1994 as applicable to their job requirements.
