OSHA says inspectors found that:

  • A competent person did not conduct frequent and regular inspections of the jobsite, exposing employees to hazards;
  • An employee was not wearing a hard hat while he was installing roof trusses and working directly beneath others who were using unsecured hand tools and pneumatic nailers;
  • Employees were exposed to fall hazards up to 12 feet when using aluminum extension ladders that were not secured or had damaged or missing parts; and
  • Employees were working from the top plates of a house’s outer framed walls without the use of any fall protection.
