General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1926.503(b)(1): The employer shall verify compliance with paragraph (a) of this section by preparing a written certification record. The written certification record shall contain the name or other identity of the employee trained, the date(s) of the training, and the signature of the person who conducted the training or the signature of the employer. If the employer relies on training conducted by another employer or completed prior to the effective date of this section, the certification record shall indicate the date the employer determined the prior training was adequate rather than the date of actual training.  The employer did not have written certification of fall protection training for employees observed performing roofing work on a commercial roof structure while not utilizing a fall protection system and exposed to potential fall heights in excess of 15 feet.
