Fall Protection DiY? More like DiWHY, am I right? 🙃 While #fallprotection systems might seem simple on the surface, there's a load of engineering & planning required to ensure the system will perform as needed. OSHA requires permanent fall protection systems to be designed, certified, and installed by (or under the supervision) of a Qualified Person. And just in case anyone is unsure, trees are NOT sufficient for an anchorage connection for your fall protection equipment. You should go hug that tree, not tie-off to it. If you require a unique solution for a unique application, it's time you reach out to a Diversified Fall Protection expert. We love a challenge! #nofalls

When was the last time you reviewed your fall protection program? Unfortunately, falls continue to be the leading cause of death in construction and there are many considerations that need to be taken to have a solid fall protection program. Training, proper equipment and a rescue plan is essential. There are many more key components that need to be in place to be safe. Attached is one component to the program. Checking harness on a daily basis is important. The proper equipment in good condition saves lives. #fallprotectionsafety https://lnkd.in/g9mM8Amq

If you look at OSHA standards as much as I do, I would love to get your opinion. How close to a leading edge is fall protection needed? I don't see any standard that says, verbatim, fall protection is required when one is working 6' from a leading edge. However, in doing research it seems that, through standard interpretations, that 6' is the so called "line" to bring about fall protection. Consider the following standard: 1926.501(b)(2)(ii) Each employee on a walking/working surface 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level where leading edges are under construction, but who is not engaged in the leading edge work, shall be protected from falling by a guardrail system, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system.

Falls remain the leading cause of death in the construction industry, and the Kentucky AGC Self-Insurers' Fund is committed to helping ensure that all residential construction sites are safe for workers. The latest OSHA FAQ on Fall Protection in Residential Construction provides essential guidelines that all construction employers must follow to protect their workers from fall hazards, including: *Use of conventional fall protection systems: guardrails, safety nets, and personal fall arrest systems. *Alternative fall protection measures for specific jobs. *The need for a site-specific fall protection plan if conventional methods are not feasible or pose greater hazards. Ensure your team is compliant and safe at all times!
