General-duty citation text

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): Duties of employers. Every employer
shall: Furnish
employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized
hazards that are causing
or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his or her
employees.
On December 20, 2012, Window Master's Inc., located at 300 South 4th
Street, Las
Vegas NV, 89101, did not ensure the following processes were provided and
practiced
in accordance with ANSI/IWCA I-14.1-2001:
a) Personal Fall Arrest System 9.2.2. (f) Personal fall arrest systems
shall not be
attached to guardrail systems, nor shall they be attached to hoists.
b) Transportable Suspended Powered Platforms (single - and multiple
suspension)
15.2.2 When operating a platform suspended from a two point system with two
wire rope support, means shall be provided for an independent vertical
lifeline
attached to a certified anchorage on the roof."
A feasible means of abatement would be to follow the requirements of the
ANSI/IWCA I-14.1-
2001 to allow the continued safe operation of the scaffold and fall arrest
systems by:
a) ensuring fall arrest systems are not attached to the hoist.
b) provide independent vertical lifelines that are attached to a certified
anchorage on the
roof.
