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) On January 17, 2025, the employer did not ensure that employees were utilizing a fall protection system while conducting framing work on a new-construction residential structure.

29 CFR 1926.502(d) Personal fall arrest systems. Personal fall arrest systems and their use shall comply with the provisions set forth below. (11): Lifelines shall be protected against being cut or abraded.    a) On January 17, 2025, the employer failed to ensure that employees' personal fall arrest system (PFAS) lifelines were protected from cuts and abrasions. Employees performing framing work were looping their lanyards around the wooden framing and securing them back onto themselves without protection from being cut or abraded. This exposed the lifelines to potential wear, fraying, or severing from contact with sharp or abrasive edges of the framing material. As a result, employees were exposed to a fall hazard of at least 12'9''.
