FALL RESCUE PLAN:
Federal law requires the Employer to have a Fall Rescue Plan for their employees in the event a fall should
occur.
ANSI Z359.2-2007 mandates that “Employers shall develop and maintain written fall protection and rescue
procedures for every location where an active fall protection system is used to control a fall”.
ANSI Z359.2-2007 Section 6.1:
“The employer shall provide prompt rescue to all fallen authorized persons”
ANSI Z359.2-2007 Section 6.2:
“Written rescue procedures shall be prepared and maintained by the competent person for all instances
where authorized persons work at heights. Such procedures shall contain provisions for the prompt rescue
and self-rescue of any authorized person who falls”.
ANSI Z359.2-2007 Section 6.3 provides specific guidelines regarding the circumstances during which emer-
gency services can be called to carry out a rescue.
ANSI Z359.2-2007 is very specific about the roles of all individuals involved in the rescue process.
OSHA 1910.66 subpart F Section 1(e)(8) states “The employer shall provide for prompt rescue of employees
in the event of a fall or shall assure the self-rescue capability of employees.”
OSHA 1926.502(d)(20) reads “The employer shall provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a
fall or shall assure that employees are able to rescue themselves.”
Refer to these standards in their entirety for specific requirements regarding the creation and use of a Fall
Rescue Plan.
Garlock Equipment Company strongly advises the employer to read, understand and adhere to these Federal
Standards.
