29 CFR 1926.501(c): "Protection from falling objects." When an employee is exposed to falling objects, the employer did not have each employee wear a hard hat and did not implement one of the following measures: Erect toeboards, screens, or guardrail systems to prevent objects from falling from higher levels; or erect a canopy structure and keep potential fall objects far enough from the edge of the higher level so that those objects would not go over the edge if they were accidentally displaced; or, barricade the area to which objects could fall, prohibit employees from entering the barricaded area, and keep objects that may fall far enough away from the edge of a higher level so that those objects would not go over the edge if they were accidentally displaced. On or around December 11, 2013 East Courtyard area: There was no protection when an elevator technician (working for Accurate Elevator) was traveling under two swing stage scaffolding while brick facade work was being done. The technician was struck on the head by a section of brick and later died.
