Department of Transportation

Design Considerations

Although each state has its own set of DOT regulations and requirements, there are basic guidelines that must be followed in order to ensure compliance. DOT truck fall protection must not alter the function or safety of any Department of Transportation vehicle. In addition, fall arrest systems must utilize low profiles to avoid inadvertent contact with bridges, trees, and other structures while the vehicle is in use. Fall protection permanently attached to DOT vehicles may take the form of horizontal lifeline systems while maintenance bays are usually protected by overhead rigid track or articulating beam systems.
