29 CFR 1926.502(k)(3): 29 CFR 1926.502(k)(3): A copy of the fall protection plan with all approved changes was not maintained at the job site. a) For the residential apartment complex being constructed at 1700 W Cleveland St., Tampa, FL, as observed on or about 12/17/2014, employees were working at heights of over 50 feet installing trusses without conventional fall protection.
