General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1926.501(b)(1): Each employee on a walking/working surface with an unprotected side or edge which was 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level was not protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems.       The employer does not ensure employees on a walking/working surface 6 feet or more above lower levels were protected from falling by the use of a fall protection system.  This violation was observed on or about March 3, 2014, on the north side of the building where employees were exposed to falls greater than 6 feet while attaching gutters without a fall protection system.        Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that employees are protected from falling when exposed to falls greater than 6 feet.
