  <description><![CDATA[ OSHA solicits comments concerning its proposal to extend OMB 
approval of the information collection requirement contained in the 
construction standard for fall protection. The Standard allows 
employers to develop alternative procedures to the use of conventional 
fall protection systems when the systems are infeasible or create a 
greater hazard. The alternative procedures (plan) must be written. 
Also, employers who use safety net systems may certify that the 
installation meets the standard's criteria in lieu of performing a 
droptest on the net. In addition, employers are required to prepare 
training certification records for their employees. The plan and 
certification records ensure that employers comply with the 
requirements to protect workers from falls, which account for the 
largest number of fatalities among construction workers.
