Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.503(a)(1): The employer did not provide a training program for each employee potentially exposed to fall hazards to enable each employee to recognize the hazards of falling and the procedures to be followed in order to minimize these hazards: The employer is failing to provide employees with adequate and effective fall protection training prior to allowing them to work on a roof. Workers were observed installing sheathing on a residential style construction site (Bank) without utilizing fall protection. This training would allow each employee to recognize the hazards of falling and allow them to understand the proper procedures to be followed in order to minimize these hazards. The workers were exposed to falls of over 14 feet to dirt and concrete below. This was most recently documented at the corner of 204th St. and Maple St., Elkhorn, Nebraska on or about June 21th, 2017 when the employer had employees working on the roof of this residence without any form of protective system and had not provided any training to them.
