OSHA Requirements
OSHA requires that proper
consideration be given to fall protection in the workplace for anyone working
at a height of four feet or more. For lesser heights this may just require
adequate railings and notices. But for larger heights this may require ropes,
lines, and lanyards for fall protection. Examples include activities such as
large tree trimming, roofing work, and many construction site jobs.
This isn't simply a matter
of ordering the equipment and considering that box checked off. It is also
critical that everyone be properly trained in its use because lives, quite
literally, are at stake. Employers must make sure employees who will use a fall
protection system are trained in its use beforehand, including how to plan
anchor points, tie-off technique, and testing and inspection. Careless use of
fall protection equipment can led to serious injury or even death, so this is
definitely not an area in which to cut corners.
