Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system unless another provision in paragraph (b) of this section provides for an alternative fall protection measure. Exception: When the employer can demonstrate that it is infeasible or creates a greater hazard to use these systems, the employer shall develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of 1926.502.          a)     At the worksite, where roofing work was being accomplished, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected while working at heights greater than six feet, thereby exposing employees to an approximate 23 foot fall hazard.
