The Hierarchy• Fall Prevention
If work at heights is unavoidable, secure the elevated work area with a barrier system (such as guardrails) to prevent falls.
• Fall RestraintWhen a barrier system is not feasible due to
physical characteristics of the work environment or due to the infrequency of access, use an approved fall restraint system. 1000 lb. anchorage required
• Fall Arrest with Rescue PlanIf no other option is feasible, a properly
engineered and approved fall arrest system can be used in conjunction with a rescue plan. 5000 lb. anchorage required
