You must train employees who either use or are engaged in the following:
Personal fall protection systems:
- Personal fall arrest,
- Travel restraint, and
- Positioning devices.
Equipment:
- Ladders,
- Ladder safety systems,
- Portable guardrails,
- Designated areas,
- Scaffolds,
- Safety net systems, and
- Rope descent systems.
Work situations:
- When employees work on an unguarded working side of a platform used in slaughtering facilities and on loading racks, loading docks, or teeming platforms.
- When employees operate motorized equipment on dockboards not equipped with fall protection.
OSHA says that fall protection systems and equipment will be effective only if they are installed, inspected, used, maintained, and stored properly and safely. The agency believes that workers need special and specific knowledge to perform these tasks correctly. For example, to ensure safety net systems protect employees in the event of a fall, employees must know, or be able to calculate, how much weight the net will hold in the particular situation.
