1 Duty to Have Fall Protection OSHA s Duty to have fall protection standard ( ) is an important one. You should be familiar with it. The standard states (in part) that any worker on a walking or working surface with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet or more above a lower level must be protected from falling using: 1) a guardrail system, 2) a safety net system, or 3) a personal fall arrest system. But falls continue to be the leading cause of death on construction sites. In 2015, almost 40% of all construction deaths resulted from falls a total of 364 workers died from falls. The standard itself won t protect you. It s up to you to understand where and how falls happen, and then be responsible for making sure that you don t fall. Know where fall protection is required. You need fall protection on most any upper level during construction, near large duct chases, at elevator shafts, on roofs, near some excavations, and many other locations. Use the right equipment for the job. You definitely have to use the right kind of fall protection. And you have to make sure you use the right scaffold, aerial lift, ladder, etc. Make sure you know how to use and operate all fall protection equipment. Know where guardrails need to be. Be able to identify a missing or inadequate guardrail. Know how to put on your harness. Understand how your deceleration device works. Know where and how to tie off. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Don t assume that just because you used fall protection gear yesterday, that it s still in safe working condition today. Inspect all components of your fall arrest system before each use and after any fall. Look for tears, cuts, frayed webbing, wear, degradation from exposure to sun, and any dirt, grease, or oil that could affect the performance of the equipment. You also have dozens of opportunities each day to make small decisions that will protect you from falls: Keep your lanyard short enough to stop you before you hit the ground. Never walk up to an unprotected edge. Use only fully-planked scaffolds. Use proper access to get on and off scaffolds. Don t climb on a scaffold s cross-braces. Don t stand on guardrails. Don t work around unprotected skylights or openings. Get a ladder instead of standing on a bucket. Set that ladder up carefully and properly. You have a duty to yourself to have and use fall protection. SAFETY REMINDER Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that s what gets you.

4 Obligación de tener protección contra caídas (Duty to Have Fall Protection) La norma de OSHA respecto a la Obligación de tener protección contra caídas ( ) es una norma importante. Usted debe estar familiarizado con ella. La norma dice (en parte) que cualquier trabajador en una superficie de trabajo o de tránsito que tenga un lado o borde sin protección y que está a 6 pies o más por encima de un nivel más bajo, debe estar protegido de una caída usando: 1) un sistema de barandillas de protección, 2) un sistema de redes de seguridad, o 3) un sistema personal de interrupción de caídas. Sin embargo, las caídas continúan siendo la causa principal de muertes en las obras de construcción. En 2015, casi el 40% de todas las muertes en la construcción fueron el resultado de caídas un total de 364 trabajadores murieron a causa de caídas. La norma en sí no lo protegerá. Depende de usted entender en dónde y cómo suceden las caídas y luego ser responsable de asegurarse de no caerse. Asegúrese de saber en dónde se requiere el uso de protección contra caídas. Usted necesita protección contra caídas en la mayoría de los niveles superiores durante la construcción, cerca de grandes vías de ductos, pozos de elevador, en techos, cerca de algunas excavaciones, y en muchos otros lugares. Use el equipo correcto para el trabajo correspondiente. Definitivamente usted tiene que usar la clase correcta de protección contra las caídas. Y tiene que asegurarse de usar el correcto andamio, plataforma aérea, escalera, etc. Asegúrese saber cómo usar y operar todo el equipo de protección contra caídas. Conozca dónde deben estar todos los barandales. Usted deberá poder identificar un barandal faltante o inadecuado. Sepa cómo ponerse su arnés. Conozca cómo funciona su dispositivo de desaceleración. Sepa en dónde y cómo amarrarse. No suponga que solo porque usó el equipo de protección contra caídas ayer, sigue estando en buenas condiciones el día de hoy. Inspeccione todos los componentes de su sistema anticaídas antes de usarlo y después de cualquier caída. Busque que no tenga desgarraduras, cortaduras, correas deshilachadas, desgaste, degradación por exposición al sol, y cualquier mugre, grasa, o aceite que pudiera afectar el funcionamiento del equipo. Usted también tiene docenas de oportunidades cada día de tomar pequeñas decisiones que lo protegerán contra las caídas: Mantenga su cuerda de seguridad lo suficientemente corta para detenerlo antes de estrellarse contra el suelo. Nunca camine cerca de un borde desprotegido. Use solamente andamios que tengan tablones de madera. Use el acceso correcto para subir y bajarse de los andamios. Nunca se suba a un andamio por los refuerzos transversales. No se pare sobre los barandales. No trabaje cerca de tragaluces o aberturas desprotegidas. Vaya por una escalera en vez de pararse sobre una cubeta. Coloque la escalera correcta y cuidadosamente. Usted tiene la obligación a sí mismo de tener y usar equipo de protección contra caídas. SAFETY REMINDER La velocidad nunca ha matado a nadie. Lo que mata es quedar inmóvil repentinamente.
