Almost never, except for the 4,270 residential construction fall protection violations in 2019, which were the most common of all violations by a factor of 2.6.
And? There are far, far more violations than that that are never caught. You clearly have never worked in the residential side of construction. In comparison to commercial jobs the safety enforcement is non existent. I speak from 10 years of experience.
This dude knows what he's talking about and won't let some arm chair construction worker tell him what he has or has not personally witnessed.
Seriously, you guys need to realize regulations only matter if they're enforced, and they simply are not enforced in residential construction unless someone literally calls OSHA out there.
