six feet (1.8m) or more shall utilize fall protection equipment.
In situations where a fall could result in impalement or other injury (i.e. working over a hot
process, operating equipment, rebar), fall protection equipment shall be utilized
regardless of the potential falling distance.
Vertical impaling objects such as rebar shall have the ends capped with an article such as
a block of 2 x 4 inch (0.05 x 0.1m) wood, rebar cap, or other item which adequately
protects personnel and covers the impaling end of the object.
Personal fall prevention equipment must be inspected prior to use by the user.
Safety, body harness assemblies, lanyards, and other personal equipment shall be
inspected every three months (F12254-CDB-W01-HSE-PRO-00139 Tools Maintenance)
by a competent person designated by the Contractor HSES Manager.
Auxiliary fall protection equipments, such as static lines, perimeter guards, or other
suitable means, shall be utilized by personnel travelling from one location to another in
elevated positions.
Access ways, such as ladders, shall be provided for personnel who must perform work in
elevated areas.
Double lanyards shall not be joined “hook to hook” around structures as an anchorage as
the 100% fall protection fails when the hooks are disengaged.
Persons who are observed not utilizing fall protection equipment will be identified and the
appropriate supervisor or subcontractor will be notified. The person will be terminated or
expelled form the project.
Employees must use the full body harness lanyard system with shock absorber approved
by BSF. Safety belts are prohibited.
Persons shall be provided safe access and egress to all work areas.
Safety Task Analysis Risk Reduction Talk (STARRT) will be given to each person
assigned work in elevated areas.
Supervisors shall analyze all elevated tasks as well as fall protection needs to ensure
adequate fall protection systems are provided. After analyzing the tasks, supervisors shall
instruct personnel involved in the specifics of the fall protection measures to be used.
Approved (OSHA CFR 29-1910) full-body safety harnesses are to be used for employee
fall protection where primary fall protection systems are inadequate and fall exposures
exist.
Personnel travelling or working in elevated areas more than six feet (1.8m) above ground
level or adjacent surface where a fall exposure exists shall make use of secondary fall
protection in securing their safety lanyard at all times to a structure, lifeline or approved
fall arresting device (OSHA CFR 29-1910) capable of supporting 5,000 pounds (2 268kg).

level or higher for personnel utilizing them.

The suitable height of the anchorage point must be verified so that a free space of
sufficient fall for the length of life-line exists, the opening of the shock absorber, also the
height of the person. If this space does not exist it is due to the use of a shorter life-line or
a retractable lanyard
Lifelines shall be arranged to provide adequate mobility in all areas of the structure while
maintaining 100% percent fall protection for personnel.
Personnel installing lifelines shall be protected from falls at all times by using retractable
lanyards or tying off to structural steel, etc.

4.4.2 Vertical Lifelines/Retractable Lifelines

Vertical lifelines are used for personnel fall protection when vertical mobility is required
and may be comprised of static lifelines made of synthetic fiber rope or cable equipped
with approved cable grabs or they may consist of self-retracting reel type lanyard/lifelines
attached directly to a safety harness.

4.4.2.1 Static Rope

Static rope lifelines with rope grabs are required for each person working from
spiders/sky-climbers and two-point suspension scaffolds. These types of lifelines can
also be used to provide fall protection for other operations such as scaffold erection and
structural steel erection where tie-off points are limited and vertical mobility is required.
Static rope lifelines must be anchored independent to other systems at the top and be
capable of supporting 5,000 pounds (2 268kg).
Note: Softeners shall be used where lifelines contact sharp edges, i.e., beam flanges.
Static rope lifelines shall be of synthetic fiber rope approved by the site HSE Manager.
Sliding rope grabs, approved for the size rope used, are the only method for securing a
safety lanyard to a vertical lifeline. Lanyards shall not be attached to lifelines by means
of knots or loops.
Rope grabs shall be positioned on the lifeline at least above the shoulders of the user.

4.4.2.2 Retractable Reel Lifelines

Retractable lifeline devices shall be secured by means of shackles, carabineers and
wire rope chokers or synthetic slings. Rope (synthetic or natural fiber ropes) shall not
be used to secure these devices. These attachment methods must be capable of
supporting 5,000-pound (2 268 kg.) impact loading.
Each retractable lifeline device shall be equipped with a rope tag line for extending the
device to elevations below the point of attachment.
Retractable lifelines may also be used to provide fall protection to structural iron
workers during erection prior to installation of other fall protection system.
