19. Ladderway/Stairway Openings Shall be guarded on ALL exposed sides by railing and toe boards in a manner that a person cannot pass through it, except at the entrance to the opening.
24. Covers must be able to support at least twice the weight of employees, equipment, and materials that may be imposed on the cover at any one time. To prevent accidental displacement resulting from wind, equipment, or workers' activities, all covers must be secured. All covers shall be color coded or bear the markings "HOLE" or "COVER."
33. 1. Be inspected prior to use 2. Have a minimum breaking strength of 5,000 lbs Lanyards shall:
34. Notes in the Usage of Lanyards 3. Avoid rubbing from sharp objects/edges 4. Never attach where there is a possibility of disengagement 5. Make sure it is short enough for you not to hit the ground in the event of fall 6. Always use double locking system FOR SNAPHOOKS 7. Anchor point must be above the head as much as possible to avoid swing in the event of fall 8. Do not loop to anchorage, use adaptor
36. These durable, chemical resistant lanyards include an inner polyester core that stretches to reduce the arresting force in the event of a fall. The shock absorbing lanyards feature a deceleration distance of 42 inches or less.
40. Notes in the Usage of Lifelines 1. Reduce sagging---it adds to height of free fall; 2. Anchored to rigid structure that could withstand 5000 lbs. force; 3. Not too tight that could lead to breakage; 4. Never hook more than one person to it without determining its capacity first.
61. There are a hierarchy of measures required of the duty holders; • To avoid work at height where they can. • To use work equipment or other measures to prevent falls where they cannot avoid work at height; and • Where they cannot eliminate the risk of a fall, use work equipment or other measures to minimise the distance and consequences of the fall.

Introduction Begin the class with some statistics: Over 40,000 deaths and disabling injuries result from falls every year One death and three serious injuries occurred in 1995 at Intel sites from falls. Falls are the number one cause of fatalities in the construction industry and account for approximately 33% of all workplace fatalities. Share with the participants the fall incident that occurred at Intel’s Penang, Malaysia facility: In August 1995, two contract employees climbed off their scaffolding and onto a duct. The duct was not designed to hold the weight and collapsed sending the employees falling. One employee landed on the scaffolding, while the other fell 25 feet. He later died from the fall.
Course Objective Introduce the Concluding Objective: Upon completion of this training, you will be able to properly use fall protection gear and ladders to comply with OSHA, as well as Intel standards and expectations. State that Intel recognizes the potential hazards of falls and therefore has instituted a fall protection/ladder safety program.
Fall Protection Fall Prevention: Warning Lines (Roof Use) Illustrate warning lines by drawing on the flipchart. Warning lines may be used along an unprotected leading edge of a roof work area. When mechanical equipment is not being used, the warning line shall be erected not less than six feet from the roof edge. Refer to next foil on mechanical equipment use. State that warning lines may consist of ropes, wire or chains. Tell the class: For more information on warning lines refer to the Fall Protection/Ladder Safety Spec.
Fall Protection Need: lanyard, full body harness, webbing tie off, connecting device. Ask: “How can a fall arrest shorten the distance of a fall?” Answer: A fall arrest system allows the person to fall a maximum of six feet. Fall arrest systems consist of the following: (Illustrate by showing an example of each component except for an anchorage point). lanyard anchorage full body harness webbing tie off (also known as a cross arm strap or attachment strap) connecting device NOTE: keep the lanyard in your hand for the next slide
Fall Protection Need: Lanyard Show the class a lanyard while paraphrasing the definition. Explain while using a shock absorbing lanyard that the impact forces are decreased should the individual experience a fall. Refer the participants to the Appendix (in the back of their student guide) for a checklist to use when inspecting lanyards.

Controlled access zones are areas where certain work can be performed without a guardrail, safety net, or personal fall arrest system. As the name suggests, these areas must be off limits to all but specifically authorized workers. Lines of rope, wire, or tape set off these zones. The lines must be at least 6 feet from the edge and connected to a guardrail system or wall on each end.

Notes:
This person’s job is to look for fall hazards and warn workers when they approach danger. The monitor has to be close enough to workers for a spoken warning to be heard.
