Not this-
4. When are they required? Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations stipulate that whenever a potential for fall at a height of six feet or more exists, fall protection must be utilized for the safety of workers. The key component of this fall protection is the anchorage device.
OSHA also states that this device must be able to support 5,000 lbs.
5. Industry Importance In the construction industry in the U.S., falls are the leading cause of worker fatalities. Each year, on average, between 150 and 200 workers are killed and more than 100,000 are injured as a result of falls at construction sites. (www.osha.gov)
6. Fall Statistics 80% of occupational fall fatalities from 1984-1986 occurred in construction (based on a study of NIOSH National Traumatic Occupational Fatalities database by Suruda, Fosbroke and Braddee (1995)).
