With the recent changes in OSHA regulation 1910.28(b)(9) regarding the requirement for engineered fall protection on fixed ladders over 24’ in height, Tritech Fall Protection can provide a continuous system that allows the employee to not disconnect at platform levels, as well as reduce the number of systems installed. The less times an employee working at heights has to disconnect and reconnect to a system, the safer the system is. Come reach out to one of our fall protection specialist to discuss your project. https://lnkd.in/e2XwFQj9

FACTORS EFFECTING THE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS OF MATERIALS USED IN HEIGHT SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Fall arrest products are predominately produced from the following materials:

• Polyester webbing / threads - used in harnesses, lanyards, slings, horizontal safety lines, etc.

• Polished stainless steel, mild steel - used for all fittings on harnesses and lanyards.

• Nylon - used in fall arrest energy absorbers and some attachment slings for climbing applications.

At Tritech we take the extra step to understand the application and hazards to provide the best solution possible.

A tag line, most often, consists of a simple piece of rope with a snap hook or connector on the end that you can use to retrieve the cable on your self-retracting lifeline. In certain cases, we will design a pulley system, sometimes referred to as the “clothesline” system, whereby, the user can easily access the tag line, without having the tag line risk, being caught up in moving vehicles or railcars.

At Tritech we take the extra step to understand the application and hazards to provide the best solution possible.

A common phrase that comes up when discussing fall protection with clients is “infrequent and temporary”, which originates from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s 29 CFR in the two sections below;

29 CFR 1910.28(b)(13)(ii)
When work is performed at least 6 feet (1.6 m) but less than 15 feet (4.6 m) from the roof edge, the employer must ensure each employee is protected from falling by using a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system. The employer may use a designated area when performing work that is both infrequent and temporary.

29 CFR 1910.28(b)(13)(iii)(A)
Protect each employee from falling by a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system or a designated area. The employer is not required to provide any fall protection, provided the work is both infrequent and temporary; and

1910.28(b)(13)(iii)(B)
Implement and enforce a work rule prohibiting employees from going within 15 feet (4.6 m) of the roof edge without using fall protection in accordance with paragraphs (b)(13)(i) and (ii) of this section.

OSHA has a history of not establishing a fixed definition of the terms “infrequent” and “temporary”, but through various policy interpretations has made it clear that the duty to prove that a task is infrequent and temporary relies on the employer. So, the burden rests on what risk the company (and their insurance provider) is willing to absorb.

What is clear (and often overlooked) in these standards is that even when permanent fall protection isn’t required because work is considered “infrequent and temporary”, the employer still has obligations. The first is to establish a “designated area”, which is to say a zone of awareness where workers understand that they are approaching an unprotected edge. The best way to do so is through the use of rooftop walkway pads and warning lines. The second is that the employer must implement and enforce a rule prohibiting employees from accessing the designated area without fall protection. Only then can an employer properly argue that a specific work task is an exception to policy that could be described as infrequent and temporary.

Falls have long been recognized as the leading cause of workplace death in the United States, making up roughly 36.5% of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s “Fatal Four”. In order to improve the safety of America’s workers, OSHA, it’s sister agency the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers have all adopted similar standards on when fall protection is required.

General Industry: 4 Feet Marine (and Riverine) Industry: 5 Feet Construction Industry: 6 Feet
Mining Industry: 6 Feet

General Industry 29 CFR 1910.28(b)(1)(i)
The employer must ensure that each employee on a walking-working surface with an unprotected side or edge that is 4 feet (1.2 m) or more above a lower level is protected from falling by one or more of the following: guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall protection systems.

Marine Industry 29 CFR 1915.77(c)
When employees are working aloft, or elsewhere at elevations more than 5 feet (1.5 m) above a solid surface, either scaffolds or a sloping ladder, meeting the requirements of this subpart, shall be used to afford safe footing, or the employees shall be protected by safety belts and lifelines meeting the requirements of §§ 1915.159 and 1915.160.

Construction Industry 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(1)
Each employee on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical surface) with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level shall be protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems.

Mining Industry 30 C.F.R. §§ 56/57.15005
Safety belts and lines shall be worn when persons work where there is danger of falling; a second person shall tend the lifeline when bins, tanks, or other dangerous areas are entered. (MSHA has since clarified through policy that potential fall distances of 6 feet (1.8 m) or more require fall protection)

USACE EM-385-1-1-21.A.02
Workers exposed to fall hazards shall be protected from falling to a lower level by the use of standard guardrails (see Section 21.F.01.b), work platforms, temporary floors, safety nets, engineered fall protection systems, personal fall arrest systems, or the equivalent.

Not only cable systems. Tritech Fall Protection offers Rigid Rail systems for all of those situations where employees are working at heights but are close enough to the obstructions below that the deflection of a cable system will not work for their application. Rigid Rail systems offer the same life saving support as lifeline systems while needing less clearance to provide adequate fall distance safety.

Prior to carrying out work at height, careful consideration should be given to ensure that the safest possible solution is chosen. It is not acceptable to select a method of work without first considering the alternatives. A hierarchy of measures exists to assist in this process. Users should ensure that they select an option as high in the hierarchy as possible. By doing so, the potential risk to the user will be minimized. At the top of the hierarchy the safest option is AVOIDANCE. Wherever possible avoid unnecessary work at height. This is followed by WORK RESTRAINT then WORK POSITION and finally FALL ARREST.

11/15/2023

For locations where more permanent protection is needed to a vertical location, such as climbing an access ladder to a warehouse mezzanine, permanent vertical lifelines are becoming more and more the norm.

In the past, the most common type of fall protection seen on fixed ladders was the “ladder cage,”. However, as of November 19, 2018, what OSHA permits for fall protection on fixed ladders began to change for fixed ladders that extend more than 24 feet (7.3 m) above a lower level. For systems installed before this time, ladder cages will be “grandfathered” until 2036.

For any built after this time, the required controls are:
• Personal Fall Arrest System (overhead SRL); or
• Ladder Safety System (VLL) - 1910.28(b)(9)(i)(B)
