Fall protection plan and rescue plan template, in Word

Blank template. $79 · Your file is emailed within about an hour of purchase · 7-day refund

In short

A fall protection plan form on its own isn't a program. Industrial sites need more: a program for platforms, structures, tanks, racks and roofs, a permit for the work at height, a rescue plan, and an inspection log for anchorages and gear. This kit has all of that in one editable Word file. Your site surveys its own locations, and your competent and qualified people review it.

FAQ

Is this an OSHA fall protection plan template?

It's a blank template written against the federal general-industry rules (29 CFR 1910.28 to 1910.30 and 1910.140), with pointers to the construction rules (29 CFR 1926.501 to 1926.503). It doesn't make your site meet any rule. Your site fills it in and your competent person reviews it.

When is a written fall protection plan used?

In construction, 29 CFR 1926.502(k) allows a fall protection plan only for leading edge work, precast concrete erection and residential construction, where the employer can show conventional protection is infeasible or creates a greater hazard. That's why IFP-2 sheet 2 is set aside for construction work where the rule allows a plan.

Does it include a fall protection rescue plan template?

Yes, IFP-3. The general-industry rule for personal fall protection systems, 1910.140(c)(21), says the employer must provide for prompt rescue of each employee in the event of a fall. The rescue plan sheet covers method, equipment, team and checks before work starts. Your site decides who does rescue.

Is there a working at heights permit?

Yes, IFP-1. It carries the permit to work, hot work, confined space entry and lockout numbers and uses the same terms as those kits.

Can I edit it in Word?

Yes. It's a .docx with no app or login. Where the federal rule gives no figure, the Section 3 table says so and your site sets it.

Who rates the anchorages?

Not the template. Anchorage ratings and system design come from the manufacturer or a qualified person. IFP-4 is where you log the inspections.

Blank template only. It isn't a legal document, an engineering document or approval by any regulator. Your site adapts it, surveys its own work-at-height locations, and has its competent person review it before use.
