Sample Fall Arrest Systems Course Descriptions
COURSE DESCRIPTION OF osha 311 fall arrest systems
Falls are the single largest cause of fatalities in the construction industry. There are approximately 1,200 worker deaths annually and 200,000 to 300,000 lost time injuries per year. The average lost time injury is 31 days.
OSHA's Fall Protection Standard was developed and reissued in response to these statistics. The reduction of accidents and injuries will save companies large amounts of money in earnings and output, medical and administrative expenses, and additional costs associated with accidents.
This course sets forth those requirements and criteria for fall protection in construction workplaces covered under 29 CFR part 1926. It is important to note that the provisions of this subpart do not apply to employees making an inspection, investigation, or assessment of workplace conditions prior to the actual start of construction work or after all construction work has been completed.

• Subpart: M
• Subpart Title: Fall Protection
• Standard Number: 1926.502
• Title: Fall protection systems criteria and practices.
1926.502(a)
"General."
1926.502(a)(1)
Fall protection systems required by this part shall comply with the applicable provisions of this section.
1926.502(a)(2)
Employers shall provide and install all fall protection systems required by this subpart for an employee, and shall comply with all other pertinent requirements of this subpart before that employee begins the work that necessitates the fall protection.
1926.502(b)
"Guardrail systems." Guardrail systems and their use shall comply with the following provisions:
1926.502(b)(1)
Top edge height of top rails, or equivalent guardrail system members, shall be 42 inches (1.1 m) plus or minus 3 inches (8 cm) above the walking/working level. When conditions warrant, the height of the top edge may exceed the 45-inch height, provided the guardrail system meets all other criteria of this paragraph.
Note: When employees are using stilts, the top edge height of the top rail, or equivalent member, shall be increased an amount equal to the height of the stilts.
..1926.502(b)(2)
1926.502(b)(2)
Midrails, screens, mesh, intermediate vertical members, or equivalent intermediate structural members shall be installed between the top edge of the guardrail system and the walking/working surface when there is no wall or parapet wall at least 21 inches (53 cm) high.
1926.502(b)(2)(i)
Midrails, when used, shall be installed at a height midway between the top edge of the guardrail system and the walking/working level.
1926.502(b)(2)(ii)
Screens and mesh, when used, shall extend from the top rail to the walking/working level and along the entire opening between top rail supports.
1926.502(b)(2)(iii)
Intermediate members (such as balusters), when used between posts, shall be not more than 19 inches (48 cm) apart.
1926.502(b)(2)(iv)
Other structural members (such as additional midrails and architectural panels) shall be installed such that there are no openings in the guardrail system that are more than 19 inches (.5 m) wide.
1926.502(b)(3)
Guardrail systems shall be capable of withstanding, without failure, a force of at least 200 pounds (890 N) applied within 2 inches (5.1 cm) of the top edge, in any outward or downward direction, at any point along the top edge.
