NEW OSHA Fall Protection Rules!
Effective Thursday, June 16, 2011, employers must provide conventional fall protection systems to protect all employees engaged in residential construction activities six feet or more above a lower level.
The new Compliance Guidance for Residential Construction will require employers to follow OSHA’s Subpart M Fall Protection regulation, which allows the flexibility of using a written fall protection plan and alternative fall protection procedures when conventional systems are either infeasible or using them creates greater hazard.
