An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Fall Protection Program
Company Policy
Injuries from falls are a leading occupational injury. It is the intent of Replace with Company Name to provide maximum protection to its staff in the prevention of falls. Known fall hazards will be identified, inspected and fall protection provided to ensure the safety of personnel. Engineering controls, administrative procedures and the use of personal protective equipment will be utilized. The Fall Protection Standard must be followed where personnel can possibly fall six feet or more, but does not apply "when personnel are making an inspection, investigation, or assessment of workplace conditions prior to the actual start of construction work or after all construction work has been completed." This exemption does not apply when inspections are carried out six feet or less from an unprotected edge. Under OSHA's interpretation, “rounds & readings” work conducted within six feet of an unprotected edge (i.e. roof line/ floor diaphragm) must comply with the Fall Protection Standard. For roofing work within six feet of the roof edge, a warning line system along with a safety monitor will be employed ONLY where conventional fall protective measures are unfeasible, or would pose a greater hazard. For all other work, the setback is fifteen feet.
RISK ASSESSMENT
The aims of risk assessment are to:
provide a basis for identifying, evaluating, defining and justifying the selection of control measures for eliminating or reducing risk, and to therefore lay the foundations for demonstrating the adequacy of the standards of safety for working at height;
identify hazards that are classified, prioritized and addressed based on the risk associated with the task (Risk analysis matrix outlining severity and probability).
provide Replace with Company Name and its employees with sufficient objective knowledge, awareness and understanding of the risks of major accidents of falls and falling objects;
capture knowledge of risk of a major accident so it can be managed, disseminated and maintained. The management of knowledge generated in the risk assessment will also greatly assist the efficient development of a safety report.
