Fall Protection Training. Falls from heights, even relatively low elevations, can result in serious injuries. The proper use of fall protection equipment, in addition to planning, supervision, and training, can reduce or eliminate the risk of falling. Anyone who routinely works at elevations is susceptible to sustaining serious injuries, even death, as a result of inadequate or missing fall protection.
WorkSafeBC and OSHA requires that fall protection be provided at elevations of four feet in general industry workplaces, five feet in shipyards, six feet in the construction industry and eight feet in long shoring operations. In addition, WorkSafeBC and OSHA requires that fall protection be provided when working over dangerous equipment and machinery, regardless of the fall distance. View WorkSafeBC Regulations Section Part 11. View OSHA Regulations Section 1926. |
