The safety monitor's sole purpose is to monitor the workers who are exposed to a potential fall hazard.
The safety monitor:

• Must be a competent person.
• Must have the authority to stop other worker activities.
• All workers in the CAZ must be directed to comply with the fall hazard warnings of the safety monitor.
