29 CFR 1926.20(b)(2):  The employer did not develop an accident prevention program, that provided for frequent and regular inspections of the job sites, materials, and equipment, to be made by competent persons designated by the employer.     a) 215 35th St., Brigantine, NJ :   Nelson Pereira, the controlling employer did not initiate a program for a competent person to conduct frequent and regular inspections of the jobsite, to identify hazards and/or stop the work in the event workers were placed in a hazardous condition. As such, two workers of Five Star Quality Construction, conducting framing activities, were not using fall protection (PFAS, safety nets, guardrails, etc.) and were thus exposed to fall hazards of greater than 25 feet, from the roof to the ground.   Observed on or about 5/14/2013.   NOTE: THE EMPLOYER IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION FOR THIS ITEM. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY OF $1000.00 IN ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1903.19.
