Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.23(a)(2): Ladderway floor opening(s) or platform(s) were not guarded by a standard railing with standard toeboard(s) on all exposed sides (except at the entrance to opening) with passage through the railing either provided with a swinging gate or so offset that a person could walk directly into the opening: The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards associated with leaving open access and egress points to fixed ladders. The most recent occurrence of this was found at the facility located at 501 Division Ave, York, NE 68467 where the employer has employees accessing the platform over the bagger/sewing line using a fixed industrial ladder that is missing the means to protect employees from stepping or falling through the access/egress point of the ladder.
