OSHA's roofing rules assign different fall protection menus by slope: warning-line combinations and safety monitoring on low-slope roofs, guardrails, nets, and PFAS on steep roofs, and the same 6-foot duty for residential work. This guide decodes 1926.501(b)(10)-(13), the warning-line build spec, monitor duties, and 502(k).

Fall protection is required at different heights by work type: OSHA construction triggers at 6 feet and general industry at 4 feet, with separate thresholds for scaffolds, steel erection, and fixed ladders. This guide decodes every trigger under 29 CFR 1926.501 and 1910.28 and walks a worked example of assessing a site's fall hazards.
