Falls are the leading cause of death in construction, accounting for over 300 fatalities per year according to OSHA's Fatal Four statistics. OSHA standard 29 CFR 1926.502(k) requires employers to develop a written Fall Protection Plan when conventional fall protection methods are infeasible or create a greater hazard.
In practice, nearly every General Contractor on commercial projects requires subcontractors to submit a Fall Protection Plan as part of the pre-mobilization safety package — regardless of whether the OSHA "infeasibility" threshold is met. It's become a standard gatekeeping document: no plan, no site access.
The plan must be site-specific (not a generic template), include a rescue plan (the #1 reason for rejection), name a competent person with specific responsibilities, and reference applicable OSHA standards. GC safety directors review dozens of these plans — they can spot boilerplate instantly.
