General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m)  or more above lower levels was not protected by guardrail systems, safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems, or an alternative fall protection measure under another provision of paragraph 1926.501 (b), nor did the employer demonstrate that it is infeasible or creates a greater hazard to use these systems and develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of section 1926.502:     On or about August 11, 2014, employees working from a residential roof at a height greater than six feet were doing so without fall protection.    The employer does not protect each employee on the roof by ensuring that all employees are tied off to their lanyards or by using other fall protection systems. This violation was most recently observed at 814 Fulton Street, Edgerton, WI 53534. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that its employees performing roofing work are protected from falls, and that no employee is allowed onto a roof without adequate fall protection.    Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including an explanation of how these steps protect its employees from falls.
