These workers were caught by OSHA with no fall protection!
- Post signs, when appropriate, showing the elevated surface load capacity.
- Install standard guardrails on surfaces elevated more than 4 feet above the floor or ground.
- Install toeboards that are at least 3½ inches in height on all elevated surfaces that expose people or machinery to falling objects.
- Install a permanent means of entry and exit with handrails to elevated storage and work surfaces.
- Pile, stack or rack material in a way that prevents it from tipping, falling, collapsing, rolling or spreading.
