Speaker Notes:

In closing:
• We believe that in most cases it IS FEASIBLE and WILL NOT CREATE A GREATER HAZARD to implement conventional fall protection systems for residential construction work.
• There have been considerable advances in the types and capability of commercially available fall protection equipment.
• We cannot let workers get killed when effective means are readily available to prevent those deaths.
• The new directive will help us get there.
• Companies that had been operating in accordance with the old directive have until June 16, 2011 to come into compliance with 1926.501(b)(13) as written.
• All workers have a right to return safely home to their families every day.
