Fall Protection Program

Cal OSHA's Personal Fall Arrest System (Title 8, Construction Safety Orders 1670) requires that individuals at risk of injury from falling receive the proper training and access to necessary safety equipment.

Fall Protection Safety regulations ensure safe work activities when the possibility of falling is present. The Fall Protection Program applies to any department on or off campus where any type of activity could result in injury from falls, specifically those who work on elevated surfaces and ladders at heights of seven (7) feet or greater. Additionally, those working on aerial platforms, scissor lift, or other elevated platform must receive equipment training.
