Falls are the leading cause of injuries at work sites. Falls can occur from ladders, scaffolding, vehicles, heavy equipment, aerial lifts, openings, platforms, and roofs.
Guardrails are required on work surfaces when workers are exposed to falls over 6 feet.
Guardrail must be 42 inches high. A mid-rail is required.
The fall protection training program must cover the recognition of potential fall hazards at the workplace for the employee.
Body harness with lanyards and secure attachment points are used when guardrails cannot be provided.
