What are the most cited standards in the workplace?

Some of the more frequently violated standards in a construction workplace relate to owners being mandated to make certain working surfaces have the integrity and strength to support workers. Owners and operators must also ensure that no one works on those surfaces unless they have been tested and proven adequate, and must make certain every employee is protected from falling to lower levels by a personal fall arrest system or guardrail system.

Additionally, employers must ensure every working surface with an unprotected side or edge six feet or higher must be protected from falling hazards by personal fall arrest systems, guardrails or safety nets.
