Although OSHA OSHA regulations generally require workers to use
fall protection when exposed to a fall of six feet or more, we
strongly recommend using fall-arrest protection when
working at any elevated position.
Know the appropriate regulations. Learn about the types
of protective equipment and systems which must be used on
the job. OSHA requires employers to know and follow the
OSHA regulations pertaining to their industry and to provide
a workplace free from hazards that might cause injuries.
OSHA OSHA provides free free consultation to employers who need
help in training and implementation. If you have any
questions or any doubt as to what regulations apply to
you or what safety equipment is required, contact your
regional OSHA office.
