Title
Standard for Fall Protection for Utility Work

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.

Publication Date:
Feb 9, 2004

Scope:

This standard provides general recommendations for a fall protection program for substation and generation structures and equipment, communication [including Community Antenna Television (CATV)], transmission, and distribution structures. It is not intended to include all of the proven practical methods and procedures; however, the selected recommendations covered under this standard are based on sound engineering principles, engineering safety considerations, and research into the tools, methods, practices, and training provided to and by electric power and communications workers.

This standard applies to electric distribution, transmission, and generation work, communications work (including CATV), line clearance tree trimming work (tree work performed from an aerial device or from a ladder), and structure painting. It does not include work in vaults, manholes, or other confined spaces. Requirements regarding floors and similar surfaces, stairways, guardrail systems, and scaffolding of all types are not considered in this standard.
