Posted on August 24, 2011 by Ronald Todd
Hard Hats Protect Workers from an Object that Falls from Height
Workers are installing a HVAC unit on the roof. One of the workers drops a part that falls from roof. The part strikes a worker on the ground. The worker received a fatal traumatic brain injury. Hard hats were provided for the workers, but workers were not required to wear them.
Prevention of Construction Fatalities from Falling Objects
Workers must be instructed in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to the work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury (29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2)).
Appropriate personal protection equipment must be worn by workers where there is an exposure to construction site hazards (29 CFR 1926.26(a)).
