Your due diligence still applies.This builder gives general guidance only. Before anyone works at height, the employer must have a qualified person assess the site and confirm every anchor. Follow each manufacturer’s instructions, labels and clearance charts, and the OHS Regulation and any other laws that apply to your work. Use a professional engineer where one is required. Nothing here replaces those duties, or the site-specific training your workers need.

This tool helps you choose. It doesn’t replace the label, the maker’s instructions or a qualified person.It’s built from the BC OHS Regulation (Part 11 and the related sections of Parts 4, 8, 9, 13, 20, 23, 26 and 34), WSBC’s BC OHS Guidelines, the CSA Z259 and ANSI Z359 equipment standards, and makers’ published instructions and clearance charts. Where we say Law, the Regulation requires it. Where we say Guidance, it’s WSBC’s interpretation or an equipment standard. Clearance figures are conservative estimates, so check the product’s own clearance chart. Products are examples only. Alpha Training Solutions doesn’t sell fall protection equipment, and this tool isn’t made or endorsed by WSBC or any manufacturer.
