A steel-erection connector is exposed to a fall of 34 feet to the lower level. Which threshold in OSHA 1926.760(b)(1) has been exceeded?

Correct Answer

C) More than two stories or 30 ft, whichever is less

Section 1926.760(b)(1) uses more than two stories or 30 feet above a lower level, whichever is less. A 34-foot fall exposure exceeds it. Connector training and the separate equipment/protection requirements at over 15 through 30 feet still apply; the threshold is not permission to disregard lower-height hazards.
