Since this issue is one of the top 5 LNI citations, it is an important question to be able to answer.

[Christopher Morrow]

I believe the answer is: 10 feet or more.

It is eight feet

[Tonya]

In WA State, fall protection is required at 4 feet for open-sided floors and walking, working surfaces and 10 feet for roof work being performed on a low-sloped roof or leading edge work.

If your project is covered by OSHA standards then it is six feet.
