The Standards on Construction Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices (29 CFR 1926.502) and Training Requirements (29 CFR 1926.503) ensure that employers provide the required fall protection for their workers. Accordingly, these standards have the following paperwork requirements: Paragraphs (c)(4)(ii) and (k) of 29 CFR 1926.502, which specify certification of safety nets and development of fall protection plans, respectively, and paragraph (b) of 29 CFR 1926.503, which requires employers to certify training records. The training certification requirement specified in paragraph (b) of 29 CFR 1926.503 documents the training provided to workers potentially exposed to fall hazards in construction. A competent person must train these workers to recognize fall hazards and in the use of procedures and equipment that minimize these hazards. An employer must verify compliance with this training requirement by preparing and maintaining a written certification record that contains the name or other identifier of the worker receiving the training, the date(s) of the training, and the signature of the competent person who conducted the training, or of the employer.

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the collection of information requirements contained in the Construction Fall Protection Systems Criteria, Practices (29 CFR 1926.502), and Training Requirements (29 CFR 1926.503) Standard. The agency is requesting an adjustment increase in the burden hours from 471,232 hours to 506,903 hours, a difference of 35,671 hours. The adjustment increase is primarily a result of an increase in the number of affected construction establishments increasing from 378,100 to 406,714 establishments. There is also an increase in the number of responses from 5,645,796 to 6,072,808.
