Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.761(b): The employer did not train each employee exposed to a fall hazard in accordance with the requirements of this section. The employer shall institute a training program and ensure employee participation in the program. On or about September 9, 2023, employees engaged in remodeling and restoration activities at the worksite located at 16281 Hwy 13, Jameson, Missouri were exposed to fall hazards in that the employer failed to establish a training program on the use of fall protection equipment, the recognition of potential fall hazards and requirement for fall protection use as it relates to removing and replacing metal roof panels. The result of this failure was evident on this day when an employee who did not have fall protection fell more than 15 feet suffering fatal injuries.
