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. Located at 5960 Carrbridge Ct. in Galloway, Ohio, employees were installing felt paper on a two story residential home, approximately 8inch on 12inch pitched roof, without fall protection, thereby exposing the employees to a fall hazard of approximately 20 feet.
