"Protection of Pedestrians

1.

Any construction or demolition site must provide protection to ensure that pedestrians do not unknowingly come onto a site where construction or demolition is taking place and be exposed to an area that has a fall hazard of greater than thirty inches (30″) in depth as described below.

a.

The protection of pedestrians or others that could fall into a hole or excavation of greater than thirty inches (30″) as described in paragraph b must be protected by enclosing the worksite or the fall hazard with a forty-eight inch (48″) nominal height plastic safety fencing. If the hazard area is a trench or smaller size hole, it may be covered with plywood or other wood-constructed covers that will support a 250 pound person, in lieu of the fencing.

b.

A hole or depression of thirty inches (30″) or more considered as a hazardous fall area is defined as: any change in level that is greater than thirty inches 30″ in height in a span or run of more than six inches (6″) and less than four feet (4′). A trench of six inches (6″) width or less, or a hole of six inches (6″) in diameter or less, does not require the guarding identified in this section.

c.

The safety fencing or wood protection must be in place on the site at the end of the working day. The end of the working day is defined as that time in which the contractor ceases work for the day, weekends and/or holidays recognized by the contractor. Any fencing used must be installed appropriately to remain upright and act as an effective barrier to pedestrian traffic.

d.

The General Contractor for a site, or the last Contractor to leave the site at the end of a work day, are jointly responsible for the identification of the hazard area and the installation and maintenance of the safety fencing or other protection devices.

e.

Persons who fail to maintain or to provide safety fencing or protection devices when required, during the construction or excavating process or when demolishing basements or trench lines that exceed thirty inches (30″) in depth as described above may be liable for penalties as provided for by law for such violation(s).

f.

Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall be punished as provided in Section 1-7 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Kirksville."
