6a. 0001 (citation
number 01 Item 001) Standards are cited in the alternative; responding to

on a platform made out of four wood pallets.  The roof stood 17 feet above
the
lower level.  The employees escorted an air-conditioning company employee.
Since the forklift did not reach the roof it was necessary for them to use
the four wood
pallets.
ABATEMENT NOTES: Among other methods, two feasible methods to reduce
this hazard are:
1. Providing a ladder.
2. Use an approved cage to lift employees safely.

respuesta a su equivalencia
y a que estas cubren un solo riesgo, en lugar de penalizar por cada una de
ellas, solo se multa
una vez por las Normas citadas en la alternativa.
