General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to a 40 foot fall: a) On or about August 9, 2002, at approximately two employees were at the edge of a roof approximately 40 feet up from a dock platform pulling up a mule in preparation for cleaning the building's windows. As they were pulling up the second mule, one of the employees fell and landed on the dock ramp after striking the ramp handrail. The roof parapet was 29 inches high and the employer did not ensure that fall protection was used. Among other methods, a feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard would be to ensure and enforce a fall protection policy as written in ANSI IWCA I-14.1-2001, including a personal fall arrest system and/or fall restraint system.
