When Fall Protection Is Required
Press play to listen0%
Fall protection is required every time, with no exception for short tasks.
• Work 4 feet or more above a lower level in general industry, or 6 feet in construction.
• Any work near an unprotected edge, opening, tank hatch or excavation.
• Climbing ladders or stairs onto tank tops, truck racks, loading arms or rack platforms.
• Reaching over an edge or handrail to access a fitting, gauge or valve.
If the task cannot be done with both feet on a protected surface, it needs fall protection.
