Fall Protection Plan for roofing, framing, and steel contractors in Illinois.
Written for the project address in Illinois, with the state's own rules applied where they differ from federal OSHA.
What GCs in Illinois 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.
In Illinois, Federal OSHA is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a Illinois section that says so.
- Federal OSHA covers private construction; Illinois OSHA covers public employers.
- Chicago-area GCs commonly require OSHA 30 for supervisors and OSHA 10 for every worker on site.
It reads like a plan a safety professional wrote for this job because the structure was written that way, against 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M (.500 to .503), before your answers went in.
It says on page one that the plan was prepared from your answers and that you adopt and implement it. Reviewers trust that more than a badge that no agency issues.

Questions from Illinois roofing and framing subs
- What is the fall protection trigger height in Illinois?
- Federal OSHA requires fall protection at 6 feet above a lower level in construction, and Illinois follows that baseline. Your GC may require more, and the plan applies the stricter requirement.
- 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 Illinois?
- Private construction in Illinois is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Chicago-area offices)); the state program covers public employers only. Your plan is written for the project address, and where Illinois 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.
