29 CFR 1926.451(c)(1): Supported scaffolds with a height to base width (including outrigger supports, if used) ratio of more than four to one (4:1) is not restrained from tipping by guying, tying, bracing, or equivalent means, as set forth in subparagraphs (i) - (iii) of this paragraph. a) The employer does not protect each employee on its tubular welded frame scaffold from tipping by guying, tying, bracing or equivalent means. This violation was most recently observed at Leverington Ave and Silverwood Street (The Cliff) on or about May 6, 2013, where three (3) employees were performing bricklaying operations from a tubular welded frame scaffold that was not restrained from tipping by installing guys, ties, and braces. Employees were working on the 5th level of a tubular welded frame scaffold approximately thirty-two (32) feet above ground level. To abate this ongoing violation, the employer must require the use of guying, tying, bracing, or equivalent means while employees are working at heights greater than a four to one (4:1) scaffold height to base ratio.
