Erect barriers to protect workers from falling objects

['Fall Protection']
Erect barriers to protect workers from falling objects

  • Employers must protect workers against the danger of falling objects in the workplace.

In a workplace where employees are exposed to falling objects, employers must require each employee to wear a hard hat and must implement one of the following measures:

  • Erect toeboards, screens, or guardrail systems to prevent objects from falling from higher levels;
  • Erect a canopy structure and keep potential falling objects far enough from the edge of the higher level so that those objects would not go over the edge if they were accidentally moved; or
  • Barricade the area into which objects could fall; prohibit employees from entering the barricaded area; and keep objects that may fall far enough away from the edge of a higher level so that those objects would not go over the edge if they were accidentally moved.
