§ 1926.502
The maximum size of each safety net mesh opening shall not exceed 36 square inches (230 cm 2) nor be longer than 6 inches (15 cm) on any side, and the opening, measured center-to-center of mesh ropes or webbing, shall not be longer than 6 inches (15 cm). All mesh crossings shall be secured to prevent enlargement of the mesh opening.
If the personal fall arrest system meets the criteria and protocols contained in appendix C to subpart M, and if the system is being used by an employee having a combined person and tool weight of less than 310 pounds (140 kg), the system will be considered to be in compliance with the provisions of paragraph (d)(16) of this section. If the system is used by an employee having a combined tool and body weight of 310 pounds (140 kg) or more, then the employer must appropriately modify the criteria and protocols of the appendix to provide proper protection for such heavier weights, or the system will not be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements of paragraph (d)(16) of this section.
Body belts shall be at least one and five-eighths (15/8) inches (4.1 cm) wide.
Warning line systems [See § 1926.501(b)(10)] and their use shall comply with the following provisions:
Controlled access zones [See § 1926.501(b)(9) and § 1926.502(k)] and their use shall conform to the following provisions.
