Each employee engaged in residential construction activities 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected by guardrail systems, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system unless another provision in paragraph (b) of this section provides for an alternative fall protection measure. Exception: When the employer can demonstrate that it is infeasible or creates a greater hazard to use these systems, the employer shall develop and implement a fall protection plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (k) of 1926.502.  At a worksite located at or about 3844 Hawk Ledge Circle in De Pere, Wisconsin:  a)  On or about August 25, 2021, employees engaged in sheathing a roof on a new 1.5-story residence were not protected from falling to the ground level, exposing employees to a fall hazard of approximately 12 feet 4 inches off the leading edge of the structure.   Note: There is a presumption that it is feasible and will not create a greater hazard to implement at least one of the above-listed fall protection systems. Accordingly, the employer has the burden of establishing that it is appropriate to implement a fall protection plan which complies with 1926.502(k) for a particular workplace situation, in lieu of implementing any of those systems.
