OSHA requires residential contractors to protect their workers from fall hazards. (OSHA looks at employees and subs are workers). The new OSHA directive affects any contractor who works at heights of 6 feet or above on residential structures. Residential contractors, builders and trades are required to use safety nets, guard rails and or fall arrest systems when working 6' above lower levels.

Our Fall Protection Training is approved for 6 CEU's for Mass CSL's. CD-0075, CS-7802. (1 hour safety, 1 hour business, 4 hours elective).

What you must do to comply with the OSHA Fall Protection Directive;

  • Create a written fall protection plan for your company describing your practices and the equipment you will provide for your workers to protect them from fall hazards.

  • When working 6 feet above the ground or other surface you must use one or a combination of the following; guard rails, fall arrest systems and safety nets.

  • You must establish a training program and effectively train your workers. Then prove through documentation that they were trained.

  • If you can prove using one of the three standards is infeasible you must write a site specific fall protection plan showing alternative methods and keep it on site.
