General-duty citation text

29 CFR  1926.102(a)(1): The employer did not ensure that each affected employee used appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation.  The employer does not protect each employee from eye injury caused by flying debris while performing roofing activities (installing material with air driven tools) on residential homes and or structures by ensuring the use of eye protection while engaging in work activities.   This most recently occurred on March 11, 2021, during the installation of roofing material at a job site located at 8138 Canyon Ridge, Bainbridge Township, Ohio 44023; the employer did not ensure employees working on the roof of a residential single family home were protected from possible danger of eye injury from impact, or from flying objects from the employees installing roofing material with air driven nail guns.  To abate this hazard in the future, the employer must ensure employees are provided with, and required to use, eye or face protection in accordance with this standard, and that no employees are permitted to work until protection is provided.   Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including an explanation of how these steps protect its employees from foreign body eye hazards.
