ASSP SF Chapter September Technical Meeting

Join the ASSP SF Chapter and the San Francisco Construction Section for a panel discussion where we'll hear from the safety team at Nibbi Builders on how they're addressing the new changes and some of their takeaways and tips.

The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board adopted revisions to various sections of the Construction Safety Orders to address fall protection on residential-type and light commercial framing activities (Sections 1671.1, 1716.2, 1730 and 1731).

Effective July 1, 2025, when working on floors and other walking/working surfaces that are 6 feet or more above the surrounding grade or floor level below and will later be enclosed by framed exterior walls, employees directly involved with the layout and construction of framed stud walls shall be protected from falling by personal fall protection systems, scaffolding, safety nets, and/or standard guardrails as specified in Section 1620 around all unprotected sides or edges. For work on the interior of the structure, a fall protection plan consistent with Appendix A shall be used.

An employer will need to demonstrate that other prescribed fall protection methods are infeasible or create a greater hazard.
