OSHA recognizes that incidents
involving falls are generally complex events, frequently involving a variety of
factors. Consequently, the standard for fall protection deals with both the
human and equipment-related issues in protecting workers from fall hazards.
This publication is intended to help workers and employers better understand
the Fall Protection in Construction standard’s requirements and the reasons
behind them.
Generally, fall protection can be provided through the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems. OSHA refers to these systems as conventional fall protection. Other systems and methods of fall protection may be used when performing certain activities. For example, when working on formwork, a positioning device system could be used. OSHA encourages employers to select systems that prevent falls of any kind, such as guardrails designed to keep workers from falling over the edge of a building.
