In order to make this a reality, OSHA issued a final rule updating the decades-old standards on Walking-Working Surfaces and Personal Fall Protection Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This final rule will update, align, and provide greater flexibility to workers in the general industry. The final rule also creates balance between the construction and general industry requirements. This makes it easier and less expensive to comply for employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Updates include the general industry standards addressing slip, trip, and fall hazards (subpart D). There are also new requirements for personal fall protection systems (subpart 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this final rule on walking-working surfaces, employers now can incorporate a combination of technology, industry best practices, and national consensus standards to provide effective and cost-efficient worker protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When was the effective date?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final rule became effective on January 17, 2017, following publication in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2016\/11\/18\/2016-24557\/walking-working-surfaces-and-personal-protective-equipment-fall-protection-systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Register<\/a>, per OSHA. The rule included several employer compliance requirement dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dates for the Subpart D Section are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>May 17, 2017<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>Train workers on fall and equipment hazards<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>November 20, 2017 <\/strong>\u2013 Inspection and certification of permanent building anchorages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>November 19, 2018<\/strong> &#8211; Installation of fall protection (personal fall arrest systems, ladder safety systems, cages, wells) on existing fixed ladders over 24 FT that don\u2019t have fall protection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>November 19, 2018<\/strong> \u2013 Installation of ladder safety or personal fall arrest systems on new fixed ladders over 24 FT and replacement ladders\/ladder sections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>November 18, 2036<\/strong> \u2013 Installation of ladder safety systems or personal fall arrest systems on all fixed ladders over 24 FT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is protected under the Walking-Working final rule?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers who need to comply with the rule include general industry ranging from building management services, roofers and utility workers to chimney sweepers \u2013 to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule applies to all general industry workers and includes surfaces that are horizontal and vertical. This includes floors, stairs, roofs, ladders, ramps, scaffolds, elevated walkways, and fall protection systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How will this final rule keep your employers safe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major changes is eliminating the existing mandate to use guardrails as a primary fall protection method. Employers are allowed to choose an accepted fall protection systems they trust will work best for their workers. The construction industry has had success in using this method since 1994 for preventing work-related falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other ways the rule protects workers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eliminats the hazard of workers climbing extended heights on fixed ladders without fall protection by phasing out the use of qualified climbers in outdoor advertising<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phases in a requirement that fixed ladders (over 24 feet) must be equipped with ladder safety or personal fall protection systems to prevent workers from falling or arresting their fall before contract with a lower level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires the use of body harnesses, and prohibits body belts, in personal fall arrest systems to distribute fall arrest forces over a larger area of a work\u2019s body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires workers who use personal fall protection and other equipment the standard covers be trained, and retrained as necessary, in fall and equipment hazards before they work at elevated heights or use that equipment, including fall protection systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can create a safer workforce for your employees\u2014so more workers go home safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the major changes to the general industry walking-working surfaces final rule, check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/walking-working-surfaces\/faq.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OSHA<\/a> site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/\">ComplianceSigns.com<\/a> is here to help you keep your workers safe and informed.
