29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): Each employee(s) engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels were not protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system, nor were employee(s) provided with an alternative fall protection measure under another provision of paragraph 1926.501 (b).  The employer does not ensure that each employee(s) engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels was protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system.  This violation occurred on or about July 09, 2014 when an employee was exposed to a fall of more than 6 feet while doing roofing work on the second level of a residential home being constructed without a fall protection system.
