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):     a. At the East Side, an employee installing roofing tiles on a 7:12 pitch roof is exposed to a 14 feet fall hazard to a lower rooftop level, without the use of personal fall arrest system, safety net system or guardrail system.     b. At the West Side, an employee installing roofing tiles on a 7:12 pitch roof is exposed to a 27 feet fall hazard to a lower rooftop level, without the use of personal fall arrest system, safety net system or guardrail system.     c. At the West Side, an employee installing roofing tiles on a 7:12 pitch roof is exposed to a 14 feet fall hazard to a lower rooftop level, without the use of personal fall arrest system, safety net system or guardrail system.       The employer fails to assure effective protection against falls as required by the standard, as demonstrated on March 24, 2015, when employees were installing roofing tiles of a residential house at 5381 Bentpine Cove Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32224 without fall protections and were exposed to fall hazards of 14 and 27 feet above the lower level.
