General-duty citation text

Title 40.1-51.1(a), Code of Virginia: Employer did not furnish employment,
and a place of employment which
were free of recognized hazards that were causing, or likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to
employees in that: Employee(s) was exposed to fall hazards while
performing job related duties when
employee(s) was permitted to work from atop a precast concrete column, in
excess of 6 feet above a lower level
without fall protection.
One feasible, and acceptable abatement method among others to correct this
hazard is to comply with the
company's written safety manual section 9, pages 23, and 24 which read:
Employees exposed to the dangers
of falling from a height of greater than 6 feet are not permitted to work
without fall protection.
Stay 6 feet away from all unguarded edges unless you are wearing personal
fall protection equipment.
