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. 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) Jose Juan Garcia Trujillo located at 6062 Witherspoon Way, Westerville, OH 43081:  On and preceding June 11, 2024, the employer did not ensure that employees performing work on a roof at heights over 6 feet were protected from falls.

29 CFR  1926.1053(b)(1): When portable ladders are used for access to an upper landing surface, the ladder side rails shall extend at least 3 feet (.9 m) above the upper landing surface to which the ladder is used to gain access; or, when such an extension is not possible because of the ladder's length, then the ladder shall be secured at its top to a rigid support that will not deflect, and a grasping device, such as a grabrail, shall be provided to assist employees in mounting and dismounting the ladder. In no case shall the extension be such that ladder deflection under a load would, by itself, cause the ladder to slip off its support.   a) Jose Juan Garcia Trujillo located at 6062 Witherspoon Way, Westerville, OH 43081:  On and preceding June 11, 2024, the employer did not ensure that employees utilizing an extension ladder to ascend onto and descend off of the roof at an 11 foot eave had the ladder extended at least 3-feet beyond the upper landing and/or secured the ladder with a grasping device which exposed the employees to falls of 11 feet.
