What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons: routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

1926.501 B02 I

Serious Gravity 10 1 instance 2 exposed
Issued
Mar 29, 2024
Penalty
Initial $4,839 · Current $1,250 Reduced
29 CFR  1926.501(b)(2)(i):Each employee who is constructing a leading edge 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above lower levels shall be protected from falling by guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. 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. 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.  a) On or about February 26, 2024, the employer did not ensure that employees, conducting roofing work on a commercial roof, were protected from falling by a fall protection system.  As a result, employees were exposed to a fall hazard of approximately 13 feet.
