Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manual outlines the requirements and guidelines for fall protection during residential construction, as per OSHA standards. The document emphasizes the importance of providing fall protection to employees working at heights of 6 feet or more above a lower level. The manual covers civilian and military setting. The manual discusses the two primary methods of fall protection: guardrail systems and personal fall arrest systems. Guardrail systems are physical barriers erected along the edges of elevated surfaces to prevent falls. They consist of a top rail, midrail, and toeboard. The OSHA requirements for guardrail systems include the top rail being 42 inches above the working surface, the midrail being positioned midway between the top rail and the working surface, the guardrail system being able to withstand a force of at least 200 pounds applied in any downward or outward direction, and the guardrail system being free from any sharp or protruding objects that could cause injury. Personal fall arrest systems, on the other hand, are designed to arrest or stop a worker's fall should they lose balance or encounter a fall hazard. They typically consist of a full-body harness, a connecting device (such as a lanyard or lifeline), and an anchorage point. If a worker falls, the connecting device absorbs the energy of the fall and prevents them from hitting the lower level. Personal fall arrest systems provide individual protection and are used when other fall protection measures, such as guardrails, are not feasible or do not provide adequate protection. The manual also discusses safety net systems, which are another option for fall protection during residential construction. Safety nets are installed below the working area to catch workers in the event of a fall. OSHA requires safety nets to meet certain specifications, including the ability to catch a falling worker and be installed with enough clearance to prevent contact with the surface or structures below. In addition to the specific requirements for fall protection during residential construction, the manual highlights the importance of training resources for fall protection. OSHA provides various guidelines and resources to help employers provide training to their employees. The OSHA Construction Industry Outreach Training Program is a comprehensive training program that covers fall protection and other safety topics. Additionally, OSHA's website offers a wide range of educational materials, including fact sheets, videos, and guides, specifically addressing fall protection training. Employers can also consider hiring qualified trainers or safety consultants who specialize in fall protection to provide on-site training. The manual emphasizes the crucial role of fall protection in ensuring the safety of workers during residential construction. It outlines the specific requirements for fall protection, including guardrail systems, personal fall arrest systems, and safety net systems, and highlights the importance of proper training and resources to ensure compliance with OSHA standards. ---------Fall protection Residential construction OSHA requirements Guardrail systems Personal fall arrest systems Safety net systems Height safety Construction safety Fall prevention Accident prevention Safety regulations Compliance Risk assessment Hazard identification Safety training Equipment inspection

Download or read book Guidelines for Guardrail on Low volume Roads written by E. D. Arnold and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guardrail is a type of longitudinal barrier installed along a roadside to shield vehicles from hazards. Guardrail is itself a hazard and should be installed only if it would reduce the severity of accidents. Accordingly, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has guidelines that can be used to evaluate the need for guardrail. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has, for the most part, adopted these guidelines for its interstate, primary, and arterial road systems. However, these guidelines are generally based on information concerning high-speed, high-volume roads; consequently, VDOT bases decisions regarding the need for guardrail on its secondary road system entirely on engineering judgment. Guidelines are needed to assist in evaluating the need for guardrail on secondary roads, which most typically have low-volume and low-speed traffic. The primary advantage of such guidelines is that guardrail will be more uniformly installed on low-volume roads. Final decisions regarding the use of guardrail would be dependent on sound engineering judgment; however, all decision-making would at least be based on the same methodology and analyses. Guidelines and uniform installations are of considerable benefit in deciding questions of liability. Formal guidelines should also increase the safety of the motoring public on low volume roads. Finally, they will provide for a more cost-effective use of guardrail. The purpose of this research was to develop such guidelines. The original scope of the study was to develop guidelines from existing practices as reported in the literature and from a survey of other states. However, it was concluded from that research that VDOT needed guidelines based on Virginia-specific data. Accordingly, the scope of the study was expanded to include the application of the computer program ROADSIDE, which was used to develop guidelines to determine whether guardrail is needed on fill embankments and for fixed objects on secondary roads in Virginia. The former guidelines were defined in terms of volumes and fill heights for a given slope, whereas the latter guidelines were defined in terms of a required clear zone for a given volume. It is recommended that VDOT consider adopting the guidelines developed in the report to evaluate the need for guardrail on its secondary roads.
