OSHA\u2019s November 19, 2018 fixed ladder changeover has officially come on their standard 1910.28<\/a>. What do you need to know to ensure you are meeting OSHA fall protection standards for your fixed ladders<\/a>?\u00a0\"OSHA<\/a>If you have an existing fixed ladder more that 24\u2019h that was installed before November 19, 2018, it should already have a cage on it.\u00a0 The previous OSHA standard 1910.27<\/a> required cages on all ladders over 20\u2019h. You have until November 18th<\/sup>, 2036 to retrofit the caged ladder with a personal fall arrest system<\/a>. Until then, you are grandfathered in under the OSHA standard that was in place at the time of install. If your climb is 24\u2019 or less, you do not need to retrofit the ladder at any time with a personal fall arrest system.<\/p>\n

A-Mezz Personal Fall Arrest System Meets OSHA 1910.28<\/p><\/div>\n

Note that if you modify or replace an existing ladder (over 24 feet high) that was installed before November 18, 2018, you will need to retrofit the ladder with the personal fall arrest system at that time. Replaced ladder sections are not grandfathered in under the prior OSHA standards – 1910.27.<\/p>\n

Any new ladders over 24\u2019h will need to be installed with a personal fall arrest system. You can still have a cage installed on the ladder \u201cprovided it does not interfere with the operation of the system\u201d (1910.28(b)(9)(iv)).<\/p>\n

These changes pertain to \u201cfixed ladders that extend more than 24 feet (7.3 m) above a lower level.\u201d The big change for lower ladders is that a fall arrest system is now not required until you are over 24 feet, whereas the code used to require cages or personal fall arrest systems for climbs over 20\u2019 (1910.27(d)(1)(ii)).<\/p>\n

You can also now run your ladders a maximum 150\u2019 in a single climb if using a personal fall arrest system or ladder safety system (1910.28(b)(9)(ii)(B)).<\/p>\n

The previous OSHA fixed ladder standard had stipulated a 30\u2019 maximum climb before landing platforms were used to break your climb up into shorter climbs. I.e. before November 18th<\/sup>, 2018, a 150 foot climb would require five separate caged ladders and four separate landing platforms. OSHA 1910.28 will let you now have just one ladder with a personal fall arrest system, cutting fabrication costs, delivery costs, and installation costs.<\/p>\n
