(vi) Each employee performing overhand bricklaying operations from a supported scaffold shall be protected from falling from all open sides and ends of the scaffold (except at the side next to the wall being laid) by the use of a personal fall arrest system or guardrail system (with minimum 200 lb. (vii) For all scaffolds not otherwise specified in paragraphs (g)(1)(i) through (g)(1)(vi) of this section, each employee shall be protected by the use of personal fall arrest systems or guardrail systems meeting the requirements of paragraph (g)(4) of this section.

Only a PFAS is required on scaffolds listed in subpart (i), while subpart (ii), which applies to single-point and two-point suspended scaffolds, requires a guardrail fall protection system and a personal fall arrest system. Section (vii) applies to the most supported scaffolds (frame, tube and coupler, system, wood pole, etc.). It allows the use of either a guardrail fall protection system or a PFAS, with the guardrail fall protection system as the first choice. The PFAS is to be used where guardrails are not feasible, such as when guardrails are temporarily removed to load material onto the scaffold. Some employers, however, have a site specific policy that requires both a guardrail fall protection system on the scaffold and the implementation of a PFAS. For contractors working in the oil and gas industry, implementation of both systems is common practice.
