Washington L&I Updates Fall Protection Standards to Align with Federal Regulations
- The Washington Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) is expediting a rulemaking process to update fall protection standards.
- The update targets alignment with federal OSHA requirements, focusing on leading edge work, safety monitor system criteria, and roofing activities on low-pitched roofs.
- Changes involve clarifications in fall restraint system definitions, adjustments in construction work exemptions, and revisions to warning line systems and safety monitor systems requirements.
- The goal is to improve worker safety, ensure compliance with federal standards, and address specific conditions for safety monitoring systems during low-pitched roof roofing work. Stakeholders and the public can submit objections or feedback until April 8, 2024, to Carmyn Shute, Administrative Regulations Analyst at DOSH, via email at [email protected].
