Fall Protection Program
Appendix A – Example Listing of Work Locations Requiring Fall Protection Training and Equipment
The following list is not intended to be inclusive. It will serve as a comparison to assist university employees, supervisors and managers to correctly indentify locations where fall protection procedures may be required.
In general, where an employee is assigned work on a roof, and that roof has an approved railing or architecturally included parapet that provides the required protection, fall protection requirements are not in force as long as assigned work is inside the protective railing or parapet.
When employees are given work assignments including repair of equipment, installation of equipment, or repair of building components, and will be required to work within 6 feet of the edge and exposed to a fall of 15 feet or more, fall protection training and protection is required.
Fall protection is not required where employees are assigned simple inspection duties on roofs greater that 15 feet in elevation, and that inspection does not place them closer that 6 feet from the edge of the roof.

Nothing in this Plan prohibits an employee, manager, or supervisor from using good fall protection methods at any work location where the use of that fall protection method does not create a greater hazard than using general awareness of fall hazards.
Where fall protection requirements cannot be met by active fall protection equipment and installations, an alternate means of fall protection may be instituted. Such alternate means must be reviewed and approved by the employing department, and CSULB Safety and Risk Management.
