29 CFR 1926.451(c)(1): Supported scaffolds with a height to base width (including outrigger supports, if used) ratio of more than four to one (4:1) are not restrained from tipping by guying, tying, bracing, or equivalent means, as set forth in subparagraphs (i) - (iii) of this paragraph.  a) The employer does not restrain the fabricated frame scaffolding from tipping by guying, tying, bracing or equivalent means.  This violation was most recently observed on the front wall of 2028 Federal Street on 07 NOVEMBER 2014 where employees were performing bricklaying operations from a fabricated frame scaffold that was not restrained from tipping by installing guys, ties, and braces.
