Fall Protection Trigger Heights Poster
A single-page wall reference for OSHA fall-protection trigger heights across general industry, construction, scaffolds, and steel erection. Six cells cover the exact heights at which fall protection becomes mandatory — 4 feet under 29 CFR 1910.28 (general industry), 6 feet under 29 CFR 1926.501 (construction), 10 feet for scaffolds under 1926.451, 15 feet for steel erection under 1926.760, the any-height rule for holes and skylights, and the three OSHA-acceptable systems (guardrails, safety nets, and personal fall arrest). Each cell cites the exact CFR subsection so it doubles as a competent-person training reference. Falls remain the #1 cause of construction fatalities — this poster removes the height-confusion that drives a large share of citations.

- All six OSHA fall-protection trigger heights on one page — 4 ft general industry, 6 ft construction, 10 ft scaffolds, 15 ft steel erection, any-height holes, and required systems.
- Every cell cites the exact 29 CFR subsection so it doubles as a competent-person training and citation-defense reference.
- Clarifies that the connector rule in steel erection requires PFAS between 15 and 30 ft, a frequently misunderstood requirement.
