what are the regulations for working on a 8/12 slope roof

I wasn't able to find specific documentation on OSHA safety regulations and fall protection requirements for roofing work on steep slopes, specifically 8/12 pitch roofs in our current safety knowledge base, but here are industry-standard safety guidelines:

For roofing work on steep slopes, which includes roofs with an 8/12 pitch, OSHA requires that employees be protected from falling by using methods such as guardrail systems with toeboards, safety net systems, or personal fall arrest systems.

A steep roof is defined as a roof having a slope greater than 4 in 12 (vertical to horizontal).

Here are some general guidelines to consider:

• Guardrail Systems: Install guardrails with toeboards along all unprotected sides and edges of the roof.
• Safety Net Systems: Use safety nets installed below the working surface to catch falling workers.
• Personal Fall Arrest Systems: Provide personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) for each worker, ensuring proper anchorage, harness fit, and lifeline use.
