Matt Burkhart – Aegis Corp.

ANSI Z359 standards for fall protection, while developed as General Industry Standards, can and will affect construction opera-tions. These new standards went into effect in November 2007 and involve new procedures, equipment and requirements. It is not likely that manufactures will continue to manufacture existing fall protec-tion equipment for construction. These standards go far beyond any construction fall protection standards and OSHA requirements. They will affect your bottom line, as well as present challenges most companies are unaware of. Industrial customers will use them. Learn about these new standards and what they mean to you.
