General-duty citation text

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 were protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system.  This violation occurred on or about March 06, 2015 when an employee was exposed to a fall hazard greater than 6 feet when performing framing work 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 each employee(s) engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels are protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system.
