29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13): 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.   a) On or about and at times prior to November 6, 2026, at the worksite located at W8900 Evelands Way, Elcho, Wisconsin; the employer did not ensure that each employee working on the second floor was protected from falls, exposing each employee to fall hazards.
