TYPICAL SYSTEM

Facts on the importance of Fall Protection Gear:

• Approximately 80% of all accidental work-related deaths in the U.S. are the result of falls. • Each year, on average, between 150 and 200 workers are killed and more than 100,000 are injured as a result of falls at construction sites.
• Each year 300,000 disabling injuries are attributed to work-related falls.
• In 1993, the total cost for work related accidents was $111.9 billion. This works out to be $780,000 per work related death and $27,000 per work related disabling injury.
• In 1993, total worker time lost due to work injuries came to 115,000,000 days - 75,000,000 days due to injuries sustained that year, and 40,000,000 more days due to injuries in the previous years.

In the construction industry, FALLS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF WORKER INJURIES according to OSHA studies. Each year, on average, between 150 and 200 workers are killed and more than 100,000 are injured as a result of falls at construction sites.

The new OSHA standard for fall protection in construction has rigorous requirements for equipment, training, and fall protection plans. Although OSHA generally requires workers to utilize fall protection when exposed to a fall of 6 feet or more (OSHA 1926.501), we strongly recommend using fall-arrest protection when working at any elevated position.

OSHA's rule for fall protection covers most construction workers except those inspecting, investigating, or assessing workplace conditions prior to the actual start of work or after all work has been completed. Under the new standard, employers are able to select fall protection measures compatible with the type of work being performed. Such measures include guardrail systems, safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems, positioning device systems, warning line systems, and others.

Know the appropriate regulations. Learn about the types of protective equipment and systems which must be used on the job. OSHA requires employers to know and follow the OSHA regulations pertaining to their industry and to provide a workplace free from hazards that might cause injuries.

GENERAL RULES:
The following is a list of the various areas/jobs mentioned in the Standard and options which may be employed for personal protection:

1. PRECAST CONCRETE ERECTION & RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION (6 feet or more above lower levels) - guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. Where these systems present a greater hazard, the employer may develop and implement a different fall protection plan which meets the requirement of the Standard.

2. ROOFING (low-slope roofs with edges 6 feet or more above lower levels) - guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems, or a combination of warning line systems and guardrail system, warning line system and personal fall arrest systems, or warning line systems and safety monitoring systems. On roof of 50 feet or less in width, the use of a safety monitoring system without a warning line system is permitted.

3. ROOFING (steep roofs with unprotected sides and edges 6 feet or more above lower levels) - guardrail systems with toeboards, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems.

4. WALL OPENINGS (outside bottom edge of wall opening is 6 feet or more above lower levels and the inside bottom edge of the wall opening is less than 39 inches above the walking/working surface) - guardrail system, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system.

5. REINFORCING STEEL AND FORMWORK (climbing 24 feet or higher) - personal fall arrest systems.

6. HOIST AREAS (holes, skylights, etc. more than 6 feet above lower levels) - personal fall arrest systems, covers, or guardrail systems.

10. OVERHAND BRICKLAYING & RELATED WORK (6 feet or more above lower levels) - guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems, or controlled access zone.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING:
The new standard requires employers to provide training for each employee who might be exposed to a fall hazard. The program should instruct employees on how to recognize the hazards of falling and train them in the procedures designed to minimize hazards.

EVERY EMPLOYEE MUST BE TRAINED IN THE FOLLOWING:

• Fall hazards in the work area.
• The correct procedures for erecting, maintaining, disassembling and inspecting the fall protection systems to be used.
• The use and operation of the guardrail systems, personal fall protection systems, safety net systems, warning line systems, safety monitoring systems, controlled access zones and other protection to be used.
• The role of each employee in the safety monitoring system.
• The limitations on the use of mechanical equipment during performance of roofing work.
• The correct procedure for handling and storage of equipment and materials and the erection of overhead protections.
• The role of employees in fall protection.
