Do you understand the 2017 OSHA walking-working surfaces rules? With #RolfTheRoofingGuy

Do you understand the 2017 OSHA Walking-Working Surfaces Rules?
Many Building Owners I speak with are not familiar.
Yet these rules represent the first significant update since 1971.
Building Owners, I speak with are:
· Concerned about their employee’s safety.
· Frustrated what the new rules means to them.
· Worried how to implement / be compliant.
What does it do:
· Harmonizes Industry and Construction OSHA standards.
What does it cover, as it relates to the roof or building facade:
· Anchor Systems Certifications: effective 2017
· Fixed ladders: New Standards, effective 2018
· Rope descent systems: window cleaning/facades
· Low-slope roofs: Fall Protection
· Elevated walkways: Serving equipment
That’s a lot to digest.
Is it time to find out if your facility is up to current standards?
If any of that resonates with you and you’d like to learn more, let me know.
