[SML] Fall protection standards

[Brian Munroe]

You're not kidding on deep pockets for the ANSI standards.  Yikes.

I do actually already have "Entertainment Rigging for the 21st Century" book.

Somewhere back in my files I have something from maybe Rocky from back in the maybe '00s that was published by maybe USITT or ESTA?  Was hoping there was something like that more current to today's regulations.

Hah!

Fall Protection regulations are found in OSHA.   1926 is the  Construction Code and 1910 is for General Industry Code.  These you can find at OSHA.gov for free.

ANSI Standards fro fall protection come from the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) and are found in the Z359 suite of standards.  These you have to buy from ANSI, ASSE or other website that sell standards.  (Be prepared to reach deep in your pocket)

None of these are geared toward the entertainment industry

The book, Entertainment Rigging for the 21st Century, edited by yours truly,  has two chapters on the subject.  There’s not much else out there that is written for the entertainment industry.

Zat help?
