Nevada osha fall protection plan

OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M requires fall protection for residential work at six feet or more, and a written, site-specific plan whenever conventional systems are infeasible. The plan has to name a competent person and stay available on the job site.

What goes on the Nevada version

  • Named competent person responsible for the site
  • Maximum working height and the exposures identified
  • Protection systems in use — guardrails, PFAS, safety nets or controlled access zones
  • Job address and date block for the site file

Nevada is one of our code-tuned states, so the packet builder also flags the state-specific attachments this scope triggers before you file.

Mistakes that get it kicked back

  • Reusing a generic plan across job sites — the standard requires it to be site-specific
  • Naming a competent person who is not actually on site during exposed work
  • Leaving the plan in the truck instead of at the job site where an inspector can read it
