OSHA Compliance Regarding Fall Safety

As an employer, it’s essential to know the OSHA regulations and rules regarding fall safety in the workplace. Here at Safety Rail Company, we strive to keep our customers informed, when it comes to OSHA compliance.

OSHA requires that each employee who is constructing a leading edge, 6 feet or more above lower levels, be protected from falling by guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems and safety net systems. If a guardrail system is used to provide the fall protection and a controlled access zone has already been put into place for leading edge work, the control line may be used in lieu of a guardrail along the edge that parallels the leading edge.

Each employee at the edge of a well, pit, shaft, or similar excavation 6 feet or more in depth, shall be protected from falling by guardrail systems or covers. In addition to these requirements, any employee working on a steep roof must be protected.

At Safety Rail Company, we provide the highest quality safety equipment at affordable prices. Keeping your workplace OSHA-compliant and safe for your employees is our top priority.
