OSHA Residential Construction Fall Protection
Just a reminder that the three month phase in period for the OSHA residential construction fall protection is over. It is know required and non compliance can mean large fines. A simple solution is the use of a roofers bucket safety kit that complies with the OSHA requirements. Another solution would be guard rail roof brackets that are installed at the roof edge to eliminate a fall. For larger jobs system guardrail packages are available from Bluewater Manufacturing. Avoid fines that could be crippling to you business.
