Question: Section 1910.28(a)(2)(ii) exempts employers inspecting, investigating, or assessing workplace conditions or work to be performed prior to the start of work or after all work has been completed from the requirement to provide fall protection. Do company security personnel who routinely and frequently access low-slope roofs to perform security inspections fall under the exception?

Answer:

The exception in §1910.28(a)(2)(ii) is limited to inspections and assessments of workplace conditions prior to the start of work or after all work has been completed. Section 1910.28(a)(2)(ii) does not apply to workers conducting routine and frequent security inspections on low-slope roofs.
