30+

Use this fall protection checklist to assess hazards and controls when working at heights. Verify ladder conditions, close surface openings, and confirm guardrails on mezzanines, docks, and catwalks meet standards. Check that gates are secured, edges are marked, and access steps are used. For roof work, confirm harnesses, retractable lanyards, and overhead lifelines are used and workers remain tied off. Capture findings, assign actions, and gather supervisor sign-off to improve safety and compliance.
