Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.20(b)(2): It shall be the responsibility of the employer to initiate and maintain such programs as may be necessary to comply with this part; such programs shall provide for frequent and regular inspections of the job sites, materials, and equipment to be made by competent persons designated by the employers. On October 30, 2020, at 1008 Mcindoe Street in Wausau, Wisconsin, the employer did not ensure that a competent person was performing frequent and regular inspections that could have recognized the fall from elevation hazards associated with employees working from scaffolding. Employees were working from scaffold planks supported by the top caps of stepladders eight feet above surface level. There was no grab rail and/or device available to access/egress the work platform, the top of a stepladder was used as a step, and the scaffold plank was positioned above the second highest rungs exposing employees to fall hazards.
