Any maintenance will be completed during that work shift. When forms are <br />being moved, handrails will be temporarily removed until the form is repositioned. At that point, <br />handrails will be promptly replaced. <br />Whenever possible, the standard guardrail system will be disassembled in an area where the fall <br />hazard does not exist. IFthis is not possible, employees performing disassembly will be protected <br />with a standard body harness system. <br />Standard Body Harness <br />Each employee will be trained in the use of a standard body harness.
