As such, workers installing roof shingles on a steep sloped roof wearing full harnesses were not attached to safety lines and were thus exposed to a fall hazard of nearly 23 feet from the roof to the ground below.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY OF $1000.00 IN ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1903.19.
