Requirements of Interim Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction for guardrails and fall protection during roofing work.
OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. Our interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer obligations. This letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to new information. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at https://www.osha.gov.

Dear Mr. Vance:
This is in response to your October 9, 2000 letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), in which you ask several questions about [STD 03-00-001 (formerly STD 3-0.1A)], the Interim Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction.
