Fall Protection: New compliance assistance factsheets provide information for preventing fatal falls in residential construction
OSHA has three new fact sheets offering information on reducing falls during residential construction. The fact sheets focus on Installing Roof Trusses*, Installing Tile Roofs* and Roof Repair*. They include information on the hazards involved in working on roofs, the proper use of ladders, scaffolds, aerial lifts and Personal Fall Arrest Systems (PFAS) such as body harnesses, lanyards and lifelines. These fact sheets are just a few of the training and compliance assistance materials available in many formats on OSHA's Residential Fall Protection Web page to help the residential construction industry comply with the new residential construction fall protection directive. They include a slide presentation that describes safety methods for preventing injuries and deaths from falls, and explains techniques currently used by employers during various stages of construction. These techniques involve the use of conventional fall protection systems including safety nets, guardrails, and PFAS.
