2.10 Control of Hazards

Where feasible, workplace hazards are prevented by effective design of the job site or job. Where it is not feasible to eliminate such hazards, they must be controlled to prevent unsafe and unhealthy exposure. Once a potential hazard is recognized, the elimination or control must be done in a timely manner. These procedures include measures such as the following:

Maintaining all extension cords and equipment.
Ensuring all guards and safety devices are working.
Periodically inspecting the worksite for safety hazards.
Establishing a medical program that provides applicable first aid to the site, as well as nearby physician and emergency phone numbers.
Addressing any and all safety hazards with employees.

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
Each subcontractor and its tiered subcontractors subject to fall hazards will be expected to have received appropriate fall protection training as part of its site specific safety program.

Specifically, this training program will enable each subcontractor’s employee to recognize the hazards of falling and train each employee on the procedures to follow in order to minimize these hazards.

The training must be conducted by a competent person qualified in the following areas:

Nature of fall hazards in the work area;
Correct procedures for erecting, maintaining, disassembling and inspecting fall protection systems;
Use and operation of guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems, safety net systems, warning line systems, safety monitoring systems, controlled access zones, and other protection to be used;
Role of each employee in the safety monitoring system (if one is used) and in fall protection plans;
Limitations of the use of mechanical equipment during roofing work on low-slope roofs;
Correct procedures for equipment and materials handling as well as storage and erection of overhead protection; and
Role of employees in fall protection plans.

Certification of Training: Each subcontractor shall verify compliance with the training program by preparing a written certification record. The written certification record must contain the name or other identity of the employee trained, the date(s) of the training and the signature of the person who conducted the training.

Retraining: When Carter & Carter Construction, LLC has reason to believe that any affected subcontractor’s employee who has already been trained does not have the understanding and skill required, the employee will be retrained. Circumstances where retraining is required include, but are not limited to, situations where:

Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete; or
Changes in the types of fall protection systems or equipment to be used render previous training obsolete; or
Inadequacies in an affected employee’s knowledge or use of fall protection systems or equipment indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite understanding or skill.

DUTY TO HAVE FALL PROTECTION
Each subcontractor shall provide fall protection systems that protect its employees from injury. Each subcontractor is responsible for determining whether the walking/working surfaces on which its employees are to work have the strength and structural integrity to support employees safely. Employees are allowed to work on those surfaces only when the surfaces have the requisite strength and structural integrity.

Specific fall protection systems are required when subcontractors are working in the following situations:

Unprotected Sides and Edges – Each employee on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical surface) with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet or more above a lower level must be protected from falling by the use of guardrail systems, safety net systems or personal fall arrest systems.

Leading Edges – Each employee who is constructing a leading edge 6 feet or more above lower levels must be protected from falling by guardrail systems, safety net systems or personal fall arrest systems.

Hoist Areas – Each employee in a hoist area must be protected from falling 6 feet or more to lower levels by guardrail systems or personal fall arrest systems. If guardrail systems, (or chain, gate, or guardrail) or portions thereof, are removed to facilitate the hoisting operation (for example, during landing of materials), and an employee must lean through the access opening or out over the edge of the access opening (to receive or guide equipment and materials, for example), that employee must be protected from fall hazards by a personal fall arrest system.

Holes – Each employee on walking/working surfaces must be protected from:

Falling through holes (including skylights) more than 6 feet above lower levels, by personal fall arrest systems, covers or guardrail systems erected around such holes.
Tripping in or stepping into or through holes (including skylights) by covers.
Objects falling through holes (including skylights) by covers.

Ramps, Runways, and Other Walkways – Each employee on ramps, runways, and other walkways must be protected from falling 6 feet or more to lower levels by guardrail systems.

Excavations – Each employee at the edge of an excavation 6 feet or more in depth must be protected from falling by guardrail systems, fences or barricades when the excavations are not readily seen because of plant growth or other visual barrier. Each employee at the edge of a well, pit, shaft, and similar excavation 6 feet or more in depth must be protected from falling by guardrail systems, fences, barricades, or covers.

Dangerous Equipment – Each employee less than 6 feet above dangerous equipment must be protected from falling into or onto the dangerous equipment by guardrail systems or by equipment guards. Each employee 6 feet or more above dangerous equipment must be protected from fall hazards by guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems or safety net systems.

Wall Openings Each employee working on, at, above, or near wall openings (including those with chutes attached) where the outside bottom edge of the wall opening is 6 feet or more above lower levels and the inside bottom edge of the wall opening is less than 39 inches (1.0 metre) above the walking/working surface, must be protected from falling by the use of a guardrail system, a safety net system or a personal fall arrest system.

Walking/Working Surfaces Not Otherwise Addressed – Except as otherwise provided in this program, each employee on a walking/working surface 6 feet or more above lower levels must be protected from falling by a guardrail system, safety net system or personal fall arrest system.

Protection from Falling Objects – When an employee is exposed to falling objects, the Carter & Carter Construction, LLC will enforce that each employee wear a hard hat and must implement one of the following measures:

Erect toeboards, screens, or guardrail systems to prevent objects from falling from higher levels;
Erect a canopy structure and keep potential fall objects far enough from the edge of the higher level so that those objects would not go over the edge if they were accidentally displaced; or
Barricade the area to which objects could fall, prohibit employees from entering the barricaded area, and keep objects that may fall far enough away from the edge of a higher level so that those objects would not go over the edge if they were accidentally displaced.

FALL PROTECTION SYSTEMS CRITERIA AND PRACTICES
Each subcontractor will provide and install all required fall protection systems necessary to complete its scope of work and will comply with all other requirements before an employee begins the work that necessitates the fall protection.

There are 10 different fall protection systems:

Guardrail systems
Safety net systems
Personal fall arrest systems
Positioning device systems
Warning line systems
Controlled access zones
Controlled monitoring systems
Covers
Protection from falling objects
Fall protection plan

Guardrail systems and their use must comply with the following provisions:

Top edge height of top rails must be 39 to 45 inches above the walking/working level. When conditions warrant, the height of the top edge may exceed the 45-inch height, provided the guardrail system meets all other applicable criteria. When employees are using stilts, the top edge height of the top rail or equivalent member will be increased an amount equal to the height of the stilts.
Midrails, screens, mesh, intermediate vertical members or equivalent intermediate structural members must be installed between the top edge of the guardrail system and the walking/working surface when there is no wall or parapet wall at least 21 inches high. Midrails, when used, must be installed at a height midway between the top edge of the guardrail system and the walking/working level. Screens and mesh, when used, must extend from the top rail to the walking/working level and along the entire opening between top rail supports. Intermediate members (such as balusters), when used between posts, must be less than 19 inches apart. Other structural members (such as additional midrails and architectural panels) must be installed such that openings in the guardrail system are less than or equal to 19 inches wide.
Guardrail systems must be capable of withstanding a force of at least 200 pounds applied within 2 inches of the top edge, in any outward or downward direction, at any point along the top edge.
Midrails, screens, mesh, intermediate vertical members, solid panels and equivalent structural members must be capable of withstanding a force of at least 150 pounds applied in any downward or outward direction at any point along the midrail or other member.
Guardrail systems must be so surfaced as to prevent injury to an employee from punctures or lacerations, and to prevent snagging of clothing.
The ends of all top rails and midrails must not overhang the terminal posts, except where an overhang does not constitute a projection hazard.
Steel banding and plastic banding must not be used as top rails or midrails.
Top rails and midrails must be at least ¼-inch nominal diameter or thickness to prevent cuts and lacerations. If wire rope is used for top rails, it must be flagged at not more than 6-foot intervals with high-visibility material.
When guardrail systems are used at hoisting areas, a chain, gate or removable guardrail section must be placed across the access opening between guardrail sections when hoisting operations are not taking place.
When guardrail systems are used around holes used for the passage of materials, the hole must have no more than two sides provided with removable guardrail sections to allow the passage of materials. When the hole is not in use, it must be closed with a cover, or a guardrail system must be provided along all unprotected sides or edges.
When guardrail systems are used around holes which are used as points of access (such as ladderways), they must be provided with a gate, or be so offset that a person cannot walk directly into the hole.
Guardrail systems used on ramps and runways must be erected along each unprotected side or edge.
Manila, plastic or synthetic rope being used for top rails or midrails must be inspected as frequently as necessary to ensure that it meets applicable strength requirements.

Safety net systems and their use must comply with the following provisions:

Safety nets must be installed as close as practicable under the walking/working surface on which employees are working, but no more than 30 feet below the walking/working surface on which employees are working, at any time. When nets are used on bridges, the potential fall area from the walking/working surface to the net must be unobstructed.
Safety nets shall extend outward from the outermost projection of the work surface as follows:
__________________________________________________________________ Vertical distance from working | Minimum required horizontal level to horizontal plane |distance of outer edge of net of net | from the edge of the working | surface

Safety nets must extend outward from the outermost projection of the work surface.
Safety nets must be installed with sufficient clearance under them to prevent contact with the surface or structures below when subjected to an impact force equal to the drop test described below.
Safety nets and their installations must be capable of absorbing an impact force equal to that produced by the drop test described below.
Generally, safety nets and safety net installations must be drop-tested at the job site after initial installation and before being used as a fall protection system, whenever relocated, after major repair, and at 6-month intervals if left in one place. The drop test must consist of a 400-pound bag of sand 30 inches in diameter (give or take 2 inches) dropped into the net from the highest walking/working surface at which employees are exposed to fall hazards, but not from less than 42 inches above that level. Exception: When Carter & Carter Construction, LLC demonstrates that it is unreasonable to perform the drop test, it must certify that the net and net installation is in compliance with this policy by preparing a certification record prior to the net being used as a fall protection system. The certification record must include an identification of the net and net installation for which the certification record is being prepared, the date that it was determined that the identified net and net installation were in compliance with this policy and the signature of the person making the determination and certification. The most recent certification record for each net and net installation shall be available at the job site for inspection.
Defective nets must not be used. Safety nets must be inspected at least once a week for wear, damage and other deterioration. Defective components must be removed from service. Safety nets must be inspected after any occurrence that could affect the integrity of the safety net system.
Materials, scrap pieces, equipment and tools which have fallen into the safety net must be removed as soon as possible from the net and at least before the next work shift.
The maximum size of each safety net mesh opening must not exceed 36 square inches nor be longer than 6 inches on any side, and the opening, measured center-to-center of mesh ropes or webbing, must not be longer than 6 inches. All mesh crossings must be secured to prevent enlargement of the mesh opening.

Only locking-type snap hooks must be used.
Unless the snap hook is a locking type and designed for the following connections, snap hooks shall not be engaged: 1. Directly to webbing, rope or wire rope; 2. To each other; 3. To a D-ring to which another snap hook or other connector is attached; 4. To a horizontal lifeline; or 5. To any object which is incompatibly shaped or dimensioned in relation to the snap hook such that unintentional disengagement could occur by the connected object being able to depress the snap hook keeper and release itself.
On suspended scaffolds or similar work platforms with horizontal lifelines which may become vertical lifelines, the devices used to connect to a horizontal lifeline must be capable of locking in both directions on the lifeline.
Horizontal lifelines must be designed, installed and used, under the supervision of a qualified person, as part of a complete personal fall arrest system, which maintains a safety factor of at least two.
Lanyards and vertical lifelines must have a minimum breaking strength of* 5,000 pounds.*
When vertical lifelines are used, each employee must be attached to a separate lifeline except during the construction of elevator shafts; if two employees are working atop a false car that is equipped with guardrails, both employees may be attached to the same lifeline in the hoistway, provided that the strength of the lifeline is 10,000 pounds and all other lifeline specifications have been met.
Lifelines must be protected against being cut or abraded.
Self-retracting lifelines and lanyards which automatically limit free fall distance to 2 feet or less must be capable of sustaining a minimum tensile load of 3,000 pounds applied to the device with the lifeline or lanyard in the fully extended position.
Self-retracting lifelines and lanyards which do not limit free fall distance to 2 feet or less, rip-stitch lanyards, and tearing and deforming lanyards must be capable of sustaining a minimum tensile load of* 5,000 pounds* applied to the device with the lifeline or lanyard in the fully extended position.

Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment must be independent of any anchorage being used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per employee attached, or must be designed, installed and used as follows: 1. As part of a complete personal fall arrest system which maintains a safety factor of at least two; and 2. Under the supervision of a qualified person.
Personal fall arrest systems, when stopping a fall, must: 1. Limit maximum arresting force on an employee using a body harness to 1,800 pounds; 2. Be rigged such that an employee can neither free fall more than 6 feet, nor contact any lower level; 3. Bring an employee to a complete stop and limit maximum deceleration distance an employee travels to 3½ feet; and 4. Have sufficient strength to withstand twice the potential impact energy of an employee free falling a distance of 6 feet, or the free fall distance permitted by the system, whichever is less. 5. Note: If the personal fall arrest system meets the criteria and protocols described in 1926 Subpart M App C, and if the system is being used by an employee having a combined person and tool weight of less than 310 pounds, the system will be considered to be in compliance with the personal fall arrest systems provisions. If the system is used by an employee having a combined tool and body weight of 310 pounds or more, then the employer must appropriately modify the criteria and protocols to provide proper protection for such heavier weights, or the system will not be deemed to be in compliance with the OSHA personal fall arrest systems requirements.
The attachment point of the body harness must be located in the center of the employee’s back, near shoulder level, or above the wearer’s head.
Harnesses and components must be used only for employee protection (as part of a personal fall arrest system or positioning device system) and not to hoist materials.
Personal fall arrest systems and components subjected to impact loading must be immediately removed from service and must not be used again for employee protection until inspected and determined by a competent person to be undamaged and suitable for reuse.

A copy of the fall protection plan with all approved changes must be maintained at the job site.
The implementation of the fall protection plan must be under the supervision of a competent person.
The fall protection plan must document the reasons why the use of conventional fall protection systems (guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems, or safety nets systems) is infeasible or why their use would create a greater hazard.
The fall protection plan must include a written discussion of other measures that will be taken to reduce or eliminate the fall hazard for workers who cannot be provided with protection from the conventional fall protection systems.
The fall protection plan must identify each location where conventional fall protection methods cannot be used.
Where no other alternative measure has been implemented, Carter & Carter Construction, LLC will implement a safety monitoring system.
The fall protection plan must include a statement which provides the name or other method of identification for each employee who is designated to work in controlled access zones. No other employees may enter controlled access zones.
In the event an employee falls, or some other related, serious incident occurs, Carter & Carter Construction, LLC will investigate the circumstances of the fall or other incident to determine if the fall protection plan needs to be changed and must implement those changes to prevent similar types of falls or incidents.

ENFORCEMENT
Constant awareness of and respect for fall hazards, as well as compliance with these and all other company safety rules, are considered conditions of employment at Carter & Carter Construction, LLC. Project supervision reserves the right to issue disciplinary warnings to employees and subcontractors for failure to follow the guidelines in this plan.

ACCIDENT RESPONSE AND INVESTIGATION

All incidents that result in injury to workers and near misses, regardless of their nature, must be reported and investigated. When an accident occurs, you must notify management. Management will either promptly rescue injured workers (directly or indirectly through a third party) or provide workers the equipment to rescue themselves.

All incidents will be investigated as soon as possible to identify the cause and means of preventing future occurrences.

In the event of an incident, this Fall Protection Safety Program will be reviewed to determine if additional provisions or practices, procedures or training should be implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.
