Do not misuse equipment.
Workplace conditions, including, but not limited to, flame, corrosive chemicals, electrical shock,
sharp objects, machinery, abrasive substances, weather conditions, and uneven surfaces, must
be assessed by a Competent Person before fall protection equipment is selected.
The analysis of the workplace must anticipate where workers will be performing their duties,
the routes they will take to reach their work, and the potential and existing fall hazards they
may be exposed to.
Fall protection equipment must be chosen by a Competent Person. Selections must account for
all potential hazardous workplace conditions.
All fall protection equipment should be purchased new and in an unused condition.
Fall protection systems must be selected and installed under the supervision of a Competent
Person, and used in a compliant manner.
Fall protection systems must be designed in a manner compliant with all federal, state, and
safety regulations.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the maximum allowable free fall distance for lanyards must
not exceed 6’. No free fall allowed for non-LE SRLs. SRLs must arrest falls within 54”.
Forces applied to anchors must be calculated by a Competent Person.
Harnesses and connectors selected must be compliant with manufacturer’s instructions, and
must be of compatible size and configuration.
A pre-planned rescue procedure in the case of a fall is required. The rescue plan must be project-
specific. The rescue plan must allow for employees to rescue themselves, or provide an
alternative means for their prompt rescue.
Store rescue equipment in an easily accessible and clearly marked area.
Training of Authorized Persons to correctly erect, disassemble, inspect, maintain, store, and use
