Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.29(b)(1): The top edge height of top rails, or equivalent guardrail system members, were not 42 inches, plus or minus 3 inches, above the walking-working surface: The employer is failing to ensure employees are protected from fall hazards associated with walking out on a balcony that does not have a proper guardrail in place. This was most recently evident during the inspection conducted on March 14, 2019 at a worksite located at 927 7th St., David City, NE 68632. Two employees routinely use the balcony to get to the roof of the facility. The balcony has two parapet walls but the top of the walls only extend approximately 1.75 feet high. Over the side of one of the walls there is a drop of approximately 12.2 feet to the sidewalk below.
