Designated area = distinct portion of walking/working area delineated by warning line where work is performed with no other fall protection provided
Temporary – duration is brief or short, tasks that that a worker is able to perform in less time than it would be to set up or install conventional fall protection - no time limits but short duration tasks are those that take less than 1-2 hours to complete
Temporary tasks – tasks that workers can complete at one time rather than repeatedly returning to the roof or requiring more than one shift to complete the work
