Fall Protection Plan for roofing, framing, and steel contractors in California.
The Fall Protection Plan is the document Roofing, framing, and steel contractors in California submit most often and rewrite most often. Here it is generated from the project details in one pass.
What GCs in California check for
GCs on roofing, framing, steel, and precast scopes want to see which systems you use where, who the competent person is, how a suspended worker gets down, and the training record. If you plan to use warning lines or a safety monitor, they want the 502(k) reasoning in writing.
The plan is written for a California project address, so the California requirements a GC in Los Angeles expects to see are included, not left for you to add.
- Every employer needs a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program under Title 8 3203.
- Heat illness prevention is a written-plan requirement outdoors (3395) and indoors (3396).
- Cal/OSHA permits are needed for trenches 5 feet or deeper and for buildings or scaffolds over 36 feet.
Every section a reviewer looks for is fixed and written against 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M (.500 to .503); your answers fill in the project, the hazards, the controls, and the names.
Nothing here is OSHA-approved, because nothing is. What you get is a plan that names the right people, matches the scope, and is signed by you.

Questions from California roofing and framing subs
- What is the fall protection trigger height in California?
- Cal/OSHA Title 8 sets triggers that differ from the federal 6 feet for some operations, including 7.5 feet under 1670 and specific residential rules. The plan applies the stricter of the two for each task.
- Do I need a qualified person?
- Only for engineered anchorages, horizontal lifelines, or a fall protection plan under 1926.502(k) where guardrails, nets, and harnesses are infeasible. The wizard asks; if you name one, the plan includes the signed 502(k) section.
- Does a fall protection plan have to be state-specific in California?
- California runs its own state plan, enforced by Cal/OSHA (Division of Occupational Safety and Health), so the plan follows federal 1926 plus the state's additions. Your plan is written for the project address, and where California has its own rule on the subject the plan says so and applies the stricter requirement.
- Is this OSHA-approved?
- No document is. OSHA and the state programs do not approve written plans; they inspect against them. This plan is prepared from your answers, says so on page one, and you adopt and implement it. That is what a GC's safety director is checking for.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes of questions on your phone, then the documents generate in under two minutes. Word and PDF, English and Spanish, with your logo on the cover.
- What if the GC asks for changes?
- Edit your answers and regenerate as often as you like for 30 days at no charge. Every version stays downloadable. If it is not what you needed, reply to any of our emails within 30 days for a full refund.
