General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13):"Residential construction." 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.   On or about May 29, 2024, at the worksite located at 1340 Waugoo Avenue, Oshkosh, Wisconsin; workers were performing reroofing activities on an approximately 4:12 pitch roof, without any form of fall protection, while exposed to an approximate nine-foot, six-inch fall.  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.
