Tying off on ladders, 2019-02-24

Responding is Dave Francis, national safety director, Little Giant Ladder Systems, Springville, UT. The quick answer is no, but let me explain why. The OSHA standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.501) requires workers to use fall protection with an unprotected edge that is 6 feet above a lower level. The standard for general industry, walking-working surfaces (1910 Subpart D) requires fall protection at 4 feet. This protection can be provided by a guardrail, safety net or personal fall protection system. Neither standard requires fall protection . . .
