| The guardrail on the east run of the level-4 scaffold platform (approximately 12m long) was removed for material handling and not reinstalled. Workers continued to operate from this platform for the entire shift, exposed to an unprotected open-edge fall hazard at approximately 4m height. | high | [OSHA 3150 Scaffold Guide, Sec E, p.42] §1926.451(g)(4)(i): 'Guardrail systems shall be installed along all open sides and ends of platforms. Guardrail systems shall be installed before the scaffold is released for use by employees other than erection/dismantling crews.' Also [OSHA 3150 Scaffold Guide, p.8] §1926.451(g)(1): 'The standard requires employers to protect each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet (3.1 m) above a lower level from falling to that lower level… install guardrails along all open sides and ends before releasing the scaffold for use by employees.' | Immediately halt work on the level-4 east platform run until the guardrail is fully reinstalled across the entire 12m open edge. Do not release the platform for employee use until a competent person confirms compliance. Where guardrail reinstatement is not immediately practicable, provide and enforce use of a personal fall arrest system for all workers on that platform. |
| Two labourers were observed working on the scaffold without hard hats during the afternoon concrete pour, in violation of the head protection requirement for scaffold workers. | medium | [OSHA 3150 Scaffold Guide, Sec E, p.43] §1926.451(h)(1): 'In addition to wearing hardhats each employee on a scaffold shall be provided with additional protection from falling hand tools, debris, and other small objects…' (implying hard hat wear is a baseline mandatory requirement for all scaffold employees). | Immediately enforce mandatory hard hat use for all personnel on or near the scaffold. Issue a formal site safety reminder or toolbox talk to all crew members. Supervisors must conduct spot checks for PPE compliance for the remainder of the project and document corrective actions taken against the individuals observed without hard hats. |
