Falls are one of the most common causes of work related deaths or injuries.  According to OSHA, fall protection is required for anyone working at elevations of 4′ or higher.  Read more about OSHA standards on fall protection.

When working on overhead platforms, elevated workstations, or over dangerous equipment and machinery, the workplace environment must be set up in a way to best ensure the safety of all employees from falls.

OSHA requires that fall protection be provided:

• General industry workplaces – elevations of 4′
• Shipyard environment – elevations of 5′
• Construction industry – elevations of 6′
• Longshoring operations – elvations of 8′
