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. 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.  On or about August 21, 2025, at a worksite located at 1220/1222 Fatima Street, Menasha, Wisconsin, subcontractors of Recovery Restorations General Contracting LLC engaged in residential roofing activities were exposed to fall hazards greater than 6 feet to the concrete surface below without utilizing any form of fall protection.  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.  Recovery Restorations General Contracting LLC was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard 1926.501(b)(13), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1684195, citation number 1, item number 1b, and was affirmed as a final order on September 1, 2023, with respect to a workplace located at 1605 N Lynndale Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin.
