An ironworker crosses an unprotected beam edge 18 ft above the next lower level, and the work is not connector work or initial decking in a controlled decking zone. What fall-protection trigger applies?
Correct Answer
B) More than 15 ft above the lower level
OSHA 1926.760(a)(1) requires fall protection for steel erection employees on walking or working surfaces with an unprotected side or edge more than 15 ft above a lower level, except for the connector and CDZ provisions. Other choices confuse the connector threshold, deck-completion timing, or a story count not used in this rule.
