Falls are dangerous and common in many work environments, particularly when elevated work stations, overhead platforms, or floor and wall holes are involved. OSHA requires fall protection training when employees are dealing with elevations of at least 4 feet in general industry workplaces, 5 feet in shipyards, 6 feet in the construction industry, and 8 feet in long shoring operations. OSHA furthermore requires such training regardless of fall distance if employees are working over dangerous machinery or equipment.
