Common use of Fall Protection Clause in Contracts

Fall Protection. Employees shall not be exposed to fall hazards. When an employee observes a fall hazard, they will notify their supervisor of the hazard. The responsible Contractor will immediately correct the hazard. 100% continuous fall protection, for fall hazards greater than six (6’) feet, shall be implemented on this Project - including steel erection and scaffold use, erection and dismantling. Each Contractor shall be responsible for meeting fall protection requirements in their overall safety and health program. Each Contractor shall evaluate ALL fall exposure conditions or tasks and must develop a Fall Protection Plan which outlines what methods, procedures and/or devices will be used in their program. Each Contractor shall be responsible for implementing the requirements to achieve fall protection in accordance with all Federal, State, local rules, regulations, and the OCIP Safety and Health Guideline. All fall protection systems used on this project shall comply with OSHA regulations and the project safety guidelines. Fall protection shall provide a positive means of protection. Controlled Access Zones and Safety Monitoring Systems are not considered positive means of fall protection and shall not be permitted. Any employee exposed to a fall greater than six (6) feet shall use approved fall protection equipment or devices. Fall protection systems shall be designed and installed under the direction of a Registered Professional Engineer or Qualified Person. Fall protection is required, as a minimum, under the following examples:  Formwork and reinforcing steel. Each employee on the face of formwork or reinforcing steel shall be protected from falling 6 feet or more to lower levels by Personal Fall Arrest Systems, safety net systems, or positioning device systems.  When working from a telescoping, articulating, or rotating type lifts and scissors lifts, personnel shall wear a safety harness with shock absorbing lanyard, secured to an approved anchorage point.  When working on a ladder higher than six (6) feet from a solid surface, if the employee's torso extends past the side rails or if a vertical ladder extended a total of 20' or greater.  When working on a platform or other support not equipped with an adequate guardrail, which is higher than six (6) feet from a solid surface.  When working from a crane-suspended work platform, a safety harness with shock absorbing lanyard is mandatory.  When an employee may have to be lowered into or raised from a confined space, a personal fall arrest system will be worn. The employee will be supported by an approved platform or a boatswain’s chair, with certified hoisting device and fall arrest device.  When working adjacent to an unguarded floor opening or sloped roof, a lifeline system is desirable for mobility. A positive means of fall protection must be provided unless it can be proven infeasible.  When working adjacent to a deep excavation, pit or trench. Employees will be instructed on the proper wearing and use of personal Fall Protection Arresting Device Systems.  Barricade tape is not adequate fall protection. The Fall Protection Plan shall detail in writing when fall protection is required and exactly how this protection is to be provided. This written plan is required for any Contractor exposing workers to falls six (6) feet or greater. The Contractor shall prepare a written training program to ensure that each employee who might be exposed to fall hazards is knowledgeable of the Fall Protection Plan requirements. The program shall enable each employee the ability to recognize the hazards of falling and shall train each employee in the procedures to be followed in order to eliminate or minimize these hazards. The Contractor shall assure that each employee has been trained. Personnel, who have been trained, then re-trained and continue to violate the established fall protection plan/regulations shall be removed from the project IMMEDIATELY.
