A member of Webcor/Obayashi Project Management, competent in fall protection, will make the final determination, and then only after a written fall protection plan limited to the actual work to be performed is approved by Webcor/Obayashi.

Fall Protection Systems. When there is a potential fall of 6 feet or more, we will utilize one or more of the following means of providing protection: Guardrail Systems Guardrail systems must meet the following criteria. Top rails and mid rails of guardrail systems must be at least one-quarter inch (0.6 centimeters) nominal diameter or thickness to prevent cuts and lacerations. If wire rope is used for top rails, it must be flagged at not more 6 feet intervals (1.8 meters) with high-visibility material. Steel and plastic banding cannot be used as top rails or mid rails. Manila, plastic, or synthetic rope used for top rails or mid rails must be inspected as frequently as necessary to ensure strength and stability. The top edge height of top rails, or (equivalent) guardrails must be 42 inches (1.1 meters) plus or minus 3 inches (8 centimeters), above the walking/working level. When workers are using stilts, the top edge height of the top rail, or equivalent member, must be increased an amount equal to the height of the stilts. Screens, mid rails, mesh, intermediate vertical members, or equivalent intermediate structural members must be installed between the top edge of the guardrail system and the walking/working surface when there are no walls or parapet walls at least 21 inches (53 centimeters) high. When mid rails are used, they must be installed at a height midway between the top edge of the guardrail system and the walking/working level. When screens and mesh are used, they must extend from the top rail to the walking/working level and along the entire opening between top rail supports. Intermediate members, such as balusters, when used between posts, shall not be more than 19 inches (48 centimeters) apart. Other structural members, such as additional mid rails and architectural panels, shall be installed so that there are no openings in the guardrail system more than 19 inches (48 centimeters). The guardrail system must be capable of withstanding a force of at least 200 pounds (890 newtons) applied within 2 inches of the top edge in any outward or downward direction. When the 200-pound (890 newtons) test is applied in a downward direction, the top edge of the guardrail must not deflect to a height less than 39 inches (1 meter) above the walking/working level. Mid rails, screens, mesh, intermediate vertical members, solid panels, and equivalent structural members shall be capable of withstanding a force of at least 150 pounds (667 newtons) applied in any downward or outward dir...
