29 CFR  1926.503(a)(1): The employer did not provide a training program for each employee potentially exposed to fall hazards to enable each employee to recognize the hazards of falling and the procedures to be followed in order to minimize these hazards:  a) On or about December 18, 2023, and at times prior, employees were exposed to fall hazards of 8 feet 7 inches to the ground below while removing shingles, underlayment, and leak barrier from a residential roof without fall protection. The employer had fall protection in their work truck but did not think it was necessary for the job due to the low slope of the roof. Excel Roofing, Inc. does not train their project managers that they have to wear fall protection while inspecting the residential roof that subcontractors are actively working on. This lack of training for project managers caused an employee hospitalization on September 25, 2023.
