Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): Each employee(s) engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels are not protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system, nor are employee(s) provided with an alternative fall protection measure under another provision of paragraph 1926.501(b): The employer does not protect each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet or more above lower levels. This most recently occurred on December 10, 2014, at the above addressed jobsite. Employees engaged in residential roofing activities are not protected from falling, thereby exposing employees to an 18.2 foot fall hazard from eave to grade. To abate this hazard in the future, the employer must ensure that its employees performing roofing work are protected from falls, and that no employee is allowed onto a roof more than six feet above lower levels without adequate fall protection.
