General-duty citation text

HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because:
Two employees were observed working on a low slope roof 20 feet above the
ground.  There
was no type of fall protection system in place, thus exposing the
employees to potential fall
hazards.  A fall to a lower level exposes the employees to potential
serious injuries.
12-60-2(a)(3) states "Every employer shall provide safe work places and
practices by
elimination or reduction of existing or potential hazards.  Elimination of
existing or potential
hazards by design, process substitution, or other appropriate methods is
preferred because it
eliminates the need for further employee protection.  When elimination is
not feasible,
reduction of existing or potential hazards to acceptable levels, using
methods such as
engineering or administrative controls, isolation, or guarding, shall be
promptly used.  When
these methods are inadequate to reach acceptable levels, personal
protective equipment shall
be provided and used."
