In May 2023, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) received notification from the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) relating to DOSH’s fall protection standard. The notification advised L&I of needed amendments to the fall protection rule in Chapter 296-880 WAC in order to be at least as effective as those administered by OSHA. This rulemaking makes changes to sections of the fall protection rule that address leading edge work, safety monitor system requirements, and roofing activity on low pitched roofs to make them at least as effective as OSHA, as required by the Washington State Plan.
