Division: Division of Occupational Safety & Health (DOSH)
Topic: Expedited Proposal (CR-105) ? Unified Safety Standards for Fall Protection
Brief Description:?The purpose of this expedited rulemaking is to update Chapter 296-880 WAC, Unified safety standards for fall protection. In May 2023, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) received notification from the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advising L&I of needed amendments to the fall protection rule in order to be at least as effective as those administered by OSHA. This rulemaking will consider changes to sections of the current fall protection rule that address leading edge work, safety monitor system requirements, and roofing activity on low-pitched roofs.
L&I is utilizing expedited rulemaking because amendments to the rule will implement federal law and make it at least as effective as OSHA, as required by the Washington State Plan.
