OSHA Zone
OSHA offers the following guidelines for fall protection under 1910.66
App C III:
Consideration should be given to the particular work environment. For
example, the presence of acids, dirt, moisture, oil, grease, etc., and their
effect on the system, should be evaluated. Hot or cold environments may also
have an adverse effect on the system. Wire rope should not be used where
an electrical hazard is anticipated. As required by the standard, the employer
must plan to have means available to promptly rescue an employee should a
fall occur, since the suspended employee may not be able to reach a work
level independently.
The employer and employee should realize that not all components are
interchangeable. For instance, a lanyard should not be connected
between a body belt (or harness) and a deceleration device of the
self-retracting type since this can result in additional free fall for which
the system was not designed. Any substitution or change to a personal
fall arrest system should be fully evaluated or tested by a competent
person to determine that it meets the standard, before the modified
system is put in use.
As stated in the standard, (section I, Paragraph (f)), personal fall arrest
systems must be regularly inspected.
