Corricated roofing, when disassebling and assembling, climbing over trusses will be a fall hazard. Planks can be assembled over trusses to make it more stable. Safety lines or
lanyards must be used. Movable scaffolding, floors must be compacted and floor boards down. This will be a trip hazard so warning signs must be viable. Locks and pins for the
wheels must be secured. Ladders must be available on the movable scaffolding. Skylights and floor openings must be closed and clearly marked with an X.
Roof Edge: Guardrails if practical, otherwise horizontal lifeline or anchor point with vertical lifeline, full body harness retractable safety line and/or lanyard.
Slab/Roof Openings: Guardrails if the opening is large (3x3m or greater) and floor covers for smaller openings. Both must be secured to the deck using nails.

3.1.1.Fall Protection Hierarchy:

The fall protection hierarchy is defined as follows;

• Guardrails are to be used as the first means of providing fall protection to workers
• Fall restraint is to be used in the event that guardrails are not practicable
• Fall arrest is to be use if fall restraint is not practicable
• Written procedures and other fall protection controls must be used providing they have
received approval in writing from the safety officer.

3.2. Procedure

The following must be adhered to at all times by all employees who are exposed to a potential fall;
1. Protect all floor, roof and wall openings with adequate covers or guardrails as required;
2. Implement, maintain and enforce the use of fall arrest safety harnesses where employees
are exposed to fall hazards of 7.5m or above.
3. Solid hole covers shall be secured and labelled with a circle and an “X”.
4. All guardrails must meet the requirement;
5. Enforce proper housekeeping practices, including the immediate clean-up of all spills,
removals of debris, power cords, hoses and tools to eliminate slipping or tripping hazards;
6. A safety officer and/or contractor is to ensure the work activity is performed in accordance
with the Fall Protection Plan and in a manner that minimizes the potential for an
employee to fall. A safety officer and/or contractor must be trained and have visual
contact at all times with the work activities;
7. When using lanyards limit the fall distance of the worker to 1.2m. If shock absorbing
lanyards are being used fall distance should be increased to 2m.

3.3. Fall Protection Plan

3.3.1. Fall Hazards in the work area:

Determine what fall hazards exist in the work area. Check all that apply and then refer to the next
section for the appropriate fall protection system to implement.

Ladders Perimeter edges

Scaffolds Leading edge
Work decks Roof edge
Forming/pouring/stripping Slab/roof openings
Excavations Rolling stage
Elevator/stair shafts Fly Table
Boom supported platforms Crane

It is important to make sure that only these hazards exist in the work area. If other work areas have
different fall hazards, then an area specific fall protection plan will be required.

Other aspects of fall hazards that must also be considered are:

1. Swing factor
• Is there a potential for a swing hazard when a worker is anchored at one point and working
at another? Yes No
• If yes, are anchor points available at regular intervals that workers can use to anchor to as
the move throughout the work area? Yes No
• If no, can anchor points be installed? Yes No

If no, then a horizontal lifeline must be used.

2. Vertical Clearance This section is not applicable

• Is there sufficient clearance below workers to arrest a fall (min 12 feet measured vertically
from the work platform; may differ for horizontal life line systems)? Yes No
• If No, can the hazard be removed (i.e. thrust out platform)? Yes No
• If No, can vertical clearance be reduced? Yes No
• If No, can the work be done from below? Yes No
• If No, can a platform or net be installed below the work area? Yes No

If no, then a fall protection plan specific to that area is required.

3.3.2.Fall Protection implementation:

For the hazards noted in the above section, follow the guidelines below for each hazard identified:

1. Ladders: To be visually inspected before each use, safeties in place, stepladders to

extended (no not lean against vertical surfaces). Ladders secured at top and bottom
2. Scaffolds: Guardrails installed as required. All pins and braces in position. Stable base.
Tied back as required by manufacturer. Platforms in good condition and capable of
supporting the weight applied. Toe boards on either end of non-manufactured planks.
Use fall arrest if work platform not available or when working below standard.
3. Work Decks: Guardrails installed as required.
4. Vertical Forms: Work platform required. Guardrails installed.
5. Elevator/Stair Shafts: Will be decked if appropriate or guardrails (top-rail and mid-rail) and
toe boards (if there is a hazard of materials or equipment falling) will be used if the shaft
must remain open.
6. Boom Supported Platforms: full body harness and lanyard.
7. Perimeter Edges: Guardrails required. Toe boards will be installed if there is a hazard of
materials/equipment falling.
8. Leading Edge: Horizontal lifeline or anchor point with vertical lifeline, full body harness,
retractable safety line and/or lanyard and rope grab.

3.3.3.Assembly/Maintenance/Inspection/Storage:

Contractors and staff will be trained by a competent trainer in the proper assembly, maintenance, and
storage of fall protection devices. Manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed. If a diagram of
the system installation is required, include it in the fall protection plan. Adequate (dry, secure, safe

Hoisting of materials or working overhead of other employees should be avoided. When working
overhead is necessary, tools should be secured from falling. Covered walkways will be used if
crossing under scaffolds. Materials shall be securely banded prior to hoisting. Netting should be used
on perimeter handrails where materials are stored near the edge.

3.3.5.Overhead Protection:

Hard hats are required. Warning signs will be posted to caution of existing hazards whenever they are
present. Barricading will be used where appropriate. All openings will have toe boards installed.

4. Employer Responsibilities:

• To provide a safe environment in which to perform work.

• To provide safe tools, equipment, and materials to facilitate the work being performed.
• To ensure all employees are trained, and perform the scope of work safely.
• To ensure that all contractors understand that employees must comply with all safety aspects
of this procedure and that the MSDS is provided when required and understood by all.
