29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): 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.    On or about 07/13/12, at the Autumn Place Town home job site the employer did not provide fall protection for employees accessing the roof. The employees were working on multi-level roofs of the residences at elevations of 10 to 18 feet without fall protection.
