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.      On or about June 29, 2020, employees performing roofing work at a residential property were exposed to fall hazards approximately 16 feet with no fall protection when the employer failed to prepare a written certification that employees were adequately trained to recognize and minimize the fall hazards.       Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
