Fall Protection
Falls are one of the most common causes of serious work-related injuries. The purpose of the Walking Working Surfaces – Fall Protection Program is to establish requirements for employees working at elevations of 4ft and guarding floor and wall openings. Where employees are required to work within 6 feet of an unprotected edge, personal fall arrest systems must be utilized. Employees working from height are required to receive initial training and refresher training every three (3) years.
