Question: Who must show that using fall protection systems on a residential roof is not feasible or creates a greater hazard?

Answer: The agency's position is that in virtually all work operations on residential roofs, employers can protect workers from falling by providing guardrail, safety net, or personal fall protection systems. The employer has the burden to establish that it is not feasible, or will create a greater hazard, to provide any fall protection in the particular residential roof operation, and that it is permitted to implement a fall protection plan pursuant to §1910.28(b)(1)(ii).
