Falls from heights and same-level falls onto walking or working surfaces are among the leading causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths. To ensure workers are provided with safe working and traveling surfaces, OSHA has developed its regulation, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D, titled "Walking and Working Surfaces." This rule affects a wide range of workers, and those employees covered by the regulation must be trained in the nature of the fall hazards in their work area, how to recognize them, and the procedures to be followed to minimize those hazards. This program covers these topics, as well as definitions and requirements of the OSHA regulation, personal fall arrest systems, ladder safety, climbing and descending stairs, scaffolding, safety housekeeping, and slip and trip hazards.
