OSHA requires protective means for fall-related accidents when a technician is at an elevation of?

The requirement established by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) for fall protection is set at 6 feet for general industry environments. This means that whenever a technician or worker is performing tasks at heights of 6 feet or more, appropriate fall protection measures must be implemented to ensure their safety. These measures could include guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems, depending on the specific situation and task being carried out.

Other heights cited in the options are either not standard within the OSHA regulations for general industry or apply specifically to different contexts, such as construction, which has different thresholds. Therefore, understanding that the 6-foot rule is a critical safety guideline helps technicians and workers comply with OSHA regulations while at elevated heights.
