FallTech strongly encourages that all employers acquire and utilize these documents for the

OSHA Standards bear the force of law on a federal level. Some states have their own
regulations which are locally enforced – check with your State Department of Labor for specific
requirements which may be enforced in your area. OSHA Standards can be accessed for free at

ANSI standards are voluntary consensus standards, and are generally regarded among the
best practices where fall protection is concerned. Some states have incorporated one or more of
the ANSI standards by reference, meaning that they may be enforced by some state or local
agencies. Check with your State Department of Labor for further details. ANSI standards are
available for purchase through the e-standards store at www.ansi.org.
