According to data from
the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average of 40 workers are
killed each year as a result of falls from residential roofs. As a result, the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently announced new
fall protection requirements for Residential Construction.
Residential
Fall Protection
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER
15, 2012 - The new
directive requires all residential builders to comply with 29 Code of Federal
Regulations 1926.501(b)(13).
Under 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13) workers engaged
in residential construction six (6) feet or more above lower levels are to
be protected by conventional fall protection. For roofers, the 25 foot,
ground-to-eave height threshold no longer applies, nor do slide guards as an
acceptable form of fall protection, regardless of the roof pitch or height of
the roof eave.
These new requirements replace the Interim
Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction, Standard
03-00-001 that have been in effect since 1995 and allowed residential builders
to bypass fall protection requirements.
OSHA has developed training and compliance
assistance materials for small employers and will host a webinar for parties
interested in learning more about complying with the standard.
OSHA's Residential Fall Protection Web page has
many guidance products, including a fall protection slide show to
help employers comply with the new directive. Employers are also encouraged to
take full advantage of OSHA's On-site Consultation Program, which provides a
free compliance assistance services, or contact their local OSHA Area Office to speak with a
Compliance Assistant Specialist. See the news release for
more information.
