You must be provided with fall protection if you are:

The requirement for fall protection is triggered when an individual is exposed to fall hazards. This means that if a worker is in a situation where there is a risk of falling from a height that could lead to injury, safety measures must be implemented to protect them. Fall protection is a critical aspect of workplace safety standards established by OSHA, designed to create a safe working environment where risks associated with elevation are effectively mitigated.

The other options involve awareness or acknowledgment of hazards, which does not sufficiently warrant the same level of protective measures. Simply seeing, thinking about, or discussing fall hazards does not address the immediate risk of exposure. The necessity for protection is based on the actual condition of being in a hazardous situation, where specific equipment or strategies must be in place to prevent fall incidents. This proactive approach ensures that workers can perform their tasks safely when they are in positions where a fall could occur.
