OSHA’s web page on fall
protection in residential construction has recently been updated with new
presentations, compliance tools and other resources, including a PowerPoint presentation,

presentation demonstrates the heavy financial cost that results from construction
falls.
The page also includes compliance tools for residential
construction, such as fact sheets on reducing falls, sample fall protection
plan and guidance document on fall protection, as well as a link to the OSHA Fall
Protection Standard.
