Considering that falls account for a large number of grave work-related injuries and death, it's no wonder that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) takes fall protection very seriously. In fact, OSHA requires fall protection be provided at elevations of just four feet for general industry.

As for the fall protection systems themselves, OSHA lists 4 classes of fall safety equipment:
Class 1 - includes body belts, which are used for positioning; not to be used when fall hazards exist.
Class 2 - includes chest harnesses, which are used for limited fall hazards, and excluding vertical free falls.
Class 3 - includes full body harnesses, used for severe free fall arrests.
Class 4 - includes suspension belts.
