FALL PROTECTION - OPEN SIDED FLOOR

OPEN SIDED FLOORS

Alls are the leading cause of deaths in the construction industry. Most fatalities occur when employees fall from open-sided floors and through floor openings. When working at heights, take the following precautions: 

• Be alert to fall hazards; areas that require vigilance include open-sided floors, hoist areas, platforms, holes, walking/working surfaces, access to ladders and stairways, and faces of formwork. 
• When exposed to open edges with vertical drops of six feet or more, ensure safety by placing guardrails around the hazard area, deploying safety nets, or by using a Personal Fall Arrest System (PFAS). 
• If using guardrail system, install top rails, mid-rails, and toe-boards. • Ensure that guardrails are capable of withstanding, without failure, a force of at least 200-pounds applied within two inches of the top edge, in any outward or downward direction. 
• When working at heights, stay away from edges unless your job requires it and always be protected from falling.
