There must be a competent person on each job site. The competent person has been through formal training and shall train the other employees as to safe practices. The Competent Person may also make changes to the safety plans. It will be recommended that the Competent Person document all training. Floor System Employees engaged in residential floor system work exposed to a fall hazard ten feet or more above a lower level to the exterior or interior of the structure shall be protected by guardrail systems, safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems or may implement the following alternatives when floor joists or trusses are eighteen (18) inches on center or less.
