According to OSHA 1926.550(G), which requirement applies when working near or over water?

When working near or over water, OSHA 1926.106 specifically outlines the requirements for protection against falling into water and ensuring safety during operations. This regulation mandates the use of life jackets or personal flotation devices for workers who are in situations where there is a risk of falling into water that is deep enough to result in drowning.

In addition to requiring flotation devices, it also addresses the need for safety measures like guardrails, safety nets, or other appropriate protection systems. This attention to fall protection is crucial in preventing serious accidents and ensuring the safety of workers who may be exposed to such hazards on job sites adjacent to or above bodies of water.

The other regulations listed do not focus directly on safety measures applicable in the context of working near water. While they may cover different aspects of construction safety, they do not pertain specifically to the protocols required in this particular situation.
