Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001C Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.502(d)(15)(i): Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached, or shall be designed, installed, and used as follows: as part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and under the supervision of a qualified person: (a) MRG Construction LLC, at 5959 N Dunkirk Street, Denver, CO: On or about 10/12/18, the employer did not ensure that anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment shall be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (22.2 kN) per employee attached. Employees were installing exterior sheathing on a two-story multi-family residential structure. An employee secured the sheathing by leaning outward through a wall opening on the second floor. The employee utilized a personal fall arrest system. The employee wrapped a self-retracting lifeline around 2"x4" wooden studs and attached the lifeline to itself. The employer did not ensure that the personal fall arrest system was properly anchored. This condition exposed the employee to an approximate 11 foot fall hazard.
