General-duty citation text

29 CFR 1926.503(c)(3): Inadequacies in an affected employee's knowledge or use of fall protection systems or equipment indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite understanding or skill.  Location: Job site;  On or about 11/24/2025, JP Carroll Roofing LLC as a controlling employer, did not ensure that frequent and regular inspections of the job site were performed by a competent person. As a result, sub-contractor employees from Malans Pro Construction LLC were exposed to hazards in the following instances:  a) sub-contractor employees were allowed to be exposed to falls from 25-feet or more from the roof of the residential roof under construction who were not tied off to fall protection equipment while loading the roof with bundles of shingles and other roofing materials.  b) sub-contractor employees were tied off to fall protection system from the front of the harness near their waist, instead of being tied off to the attachment point located in the center of the wearer's back near shoulder level, or above the wearer's head.  c) sub-contractor employees were utilizing fall protection lifelines which were wrapped around themselves into knots on the anchor point, which degrades the strength of the lifeline, and would have less than 5,000 pounds of breaking strength.  d) sub-contractor employees were not protected from overhead struck by hazards while working below an active roofing project where roofing materials, tools, and debris could have fallen 25-feet or more to the lower level and struck the employees in their heads without being protected by hardhats or other overhead protection.
