NIOSH: Puerto Rico townhall meeting transcript - Centers for ...

going to complicate things, let’s simplify. I
take a recommendation and you tell me perhaps
to put four to eight if it is an engineering
equipment control. And after eight feet use
some system of protection against falls.
I have seen that employees have been
forced within the pharmaceuticals that make
them wear a harness but they fall, the are
hurt. Thus I understand it should be more
simple, easier. It is easier to memorize
121
things and have a standard measure for any type
of protection against falls, because it is
falls. If you tell me that from fifteen feet
or more, you tell me from six feet I have to
protect and at ten feet I don’t have to protect
it doesn’t make sense to me. We should protect
those employees, we should simplify this that
it is not important from what height it is
found, if it is over four, eight, we should
establish that there must be protection of the
employee. That is all, thank you.”
