What OSHA violations are most common in Georgia scaffolding and ladder fall accidents?
The most frequently cited OSHA violations in Georgia construction fall cases include: failure to provide fall protection for workers at heights of 6 feet or more (29 C.F.R. § 1926.502); failure to have a competent person supervise scaffold erection, use, and dismantling (29 C.F.R. § 1926.451(f)(7)); failure to train employees on fall hazards and proper equipment use (29 C.F.R. § 1926.503); improper ladder angle and failure to secure ladders (29 C.F.R. § 1926.1053); and failure to cover or guard floor openings and skylights (29 C.F.R. § 1926.502). OSHA citations issued after a construction accident are powerful evidence of negligence in a Georgia civil lawsuit.
