OSHA has its first update in decades on the general industry standards on walking-working surfaces. It can be found here: Federal Register :: Walking-Working Surfaces and Personal Protective Equipment (Fall Protection Systems)

The updated standard’s go into effect in large part starting January 2017. It’s a lot of information but important to review to make sure you are compliant. Enjoy :slight_smile:
