29 CFR 1926.451(g)(1):     Each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet (3.1 m) above a lower level shall be protected fromfalling to that lower level. Paragraphs (g)(1)(i) through (vii) of this section establish the types of fall protection to be provided to the employeeson each type of scaffold. Paragraph (g)(2) of this section addresses fall protection for scaffold erectors and dismantlers.Note to paragraph (g)(1): The fall protection requirements for employees installing suspension scaffold support systems on floors, roofs,and other elevated surfaces are set forth in subpart M of this part.      At the site where exterior trim work was being accomplished from a pump jack scaffold, the employer did not ensure/enforce that employees used fall protection while performing their job task, thereby exposing employees to an approximate 16 foot fall hazard.
