What the federal rule says

Each entry is condensed from the paragraph cited; the paragraph itself is the rule and the link opens it.

29 CFR 1926.451(g)(1): Each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level must be protected from falling to that lower level; the paragraph names the system by scaffold type: personal fall arrest systems on boatswains' chairs, catenary scaffolds, float scaffolds, needle beam scaffolds and ladder jack scaffolds; both a personal fall arrest system and a guardrail system on single-point and two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds and self-contained adjustable scaffolds supported by ropes; and a personal fall arrest system or guardrail system on all other scaffolds.

29 CFR 1926.451(g)(2): The employer must have a competent person determine the feasibility and safety of providing fall protection for employees erecting or dismantling supported scaffolds, and provide it where feasible and not a greater hazard.

29 CFR 1926.451(g)(3): Personal fall arrest systems used on scaffolds must be attached by lanyard to a vertical lifeline, horizontal lifeline or scaffold structural member; vertical lifelines must be fastened to a fixed safe point of anchorage independent of the scaffold and protected from sharp edges, and horizontal lifelines must be secured to two or more structural members of the scaffold or looped around both suspension and independent suspension lines above the hoist and brake.

29 CFR 1926.451(g)(4): Guardrail systems on scaffolds: top rails 38 to 45 inches (built after January 1, 2000), midrails midway, and a 200-pound top rail strength for the general case; the paragraph sets the dimensions and strengths of each rail type.

29 CFR 1926.453(b)(2)(v): Aerial lifts (boom-type): a personal fall arrest or restraint system must be worn and a lanyard attached to the boom or basket when working from an aerial lift (the body belt text in the paragraph is read with 1926.502(d)(17), which permits body belts only for positioning and restraint).

29 CFR 1926.502(d)(15): Anchorages used for attachment of personal fall arrest equipment must be independent of any anchorage used to support or suspend platforms and capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds per employee attached, or be designed, installed and used under the supervision of a qualified person as part of a complete system that maintains a safety factor of at least two.

Fall Protection on Scaffolds questions

What are the OSHA fall protection requirements for employees on scaffolds? 29 CFR 1926.451(g)(1): each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level must be protected from falling, by the system the paragraph names for the scaffold type: a personal fall arrest system on boatswains' chairs, catenary, float, needle beam and ladder jack scaffolds; both a personal fall arrest system and a guardrail system on single-point and two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds; a personal fall arrest system or a guardrail system on all other scaffolds. California's railing rule, §1621(a), applies at 7 1/2 feet.

What should be confirmed before climbing on a scaffold? The rule puts it on the competent person: 1926.451(f)(3) requires scaffolds and their components to be inspected for visible defects by a competent person before each work shift and after any occurrence that could affect structural integrity, and 1926.451(g)(2) has the competent person decide on fall protection during erection and dismantling.

What is the 3 to 1 rule for scaffolding? Not an OSHA paragraph by that name; the figure people quote is the height-to-base ratio for free-standing scaffolds used in older guidance and manufacturer instructions. OSHA's rule on stability is 1926.451(c)(1): supported scaffolds with a height-to-base-width ratio of more than four to one must be restrained from tipping by guys, ties or braces.

Is fall protection mandatory on scaffolds above 10 feet? Yes under 29 CFR 1926.451(g)(1): each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level must be protected, by a guardrail system or a personal fall arrest system depending on the scaffold type listed in the paragraph. California's railing rule, §1621(a), applies at 7 1/2 feet.

What is the minimum height of a scaffold guard rail? 29 CFR 1926.451(g)(4)(ii): the top edge of the toprail on supported scaffolds placed in service after January 1, 2000 is between 38 and 45 inches above the platform; on older supported scaffolds and on suspended scaffolds where both a guardrail and a personal fall arrest system are required it is between 36 and 45 inches. Midrails sit midway, and the toprail withstands 200 pounds on most scaffolds (100 pounds on single-point and two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds) under (g)(4)(vii). Cal/OSHA §1658(o) sets 36 to 42 inches on suspended scaffolds.

Where does a lanyard attach on a scaffold? 29 CFR 1926.451(g)(3): to a vertical lifeline, a horizontal lifeline or a scaffold structural member, with vertical lifelines anchored independently of the scaffold and horizontal lifelines secured to two or more structural members. Safewaze titles FS815 a scaffold anchor strap and its cross arm straps wrap a member; FallTech titles 7214 a scaffold choker anchor, and its lanyard manual says lanyards with rebar hooks may be attached to properly rated structural members such as pipes and scaffolding when they are horizontal to the working surface.
