Abstract: For many years, OSHA has had under consideration standards for walking working surfaces and personal fall protection systems. In 1990, OSHA proposed (55 FR 13360) a rule addressing slip, trip, and fall hazards and establishing requirements for personal fall protection systems. OSHA is analyzing the record to determine if it is appropriate to repropose the standard or to issue a final rule based on the existing record.
