Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.95(c): Personal protective equipment was not of safe design and construction for the work to be performed: On or about June 17, 2014 two climbers were removing existing rigid waveguide and access platforms from an obsolete communication tower. The tennis shoe style safety shoe worn by one of the climbers was flat soled and did not have a heel suitable for climbing on ladders and tower supports. This condition exposed workers to a fall from elevation hazard of 140 feet.
