Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.268(e): Personal protective equipment, protective devices and special tools needed for the work of employees were not provided and the employer did not ensure that they were used by employees. Before each day's use, the employer did not ensure that these personal protective devices, tools, and equipment were carefully inspected by a competent person to ascertain that they are in good condition. (a)True North Tower, LLC at Tower/Project #CER1323012/SDL04621 154th Avenue, Rapid City, 57703: On or about and at times prior to January 10, 2019, the employer did not ensure that a tower tech/top hand was provided a protective device in the form of a Lad-Saf detachable cable sleeve or ladder safe climbing device. On the night of January 10, 2019, a tower tech/top hand was tasked to troubleshoot an Alpha 2100 radiohead located on top of a telecommunications tower. The tower was equipped with a vertical wire rope cable assembly that would allow an employee the option to climb the tower using the ladder safe climbing device. This condition exposed an employee to a fall hazard of approximately 180 feet.
