However, for all other situations, operators are required to wear personal fall protection systems like harnesses.

Yes, all boom lift operators must wear a harness or personal fall protection system on a boom lift, regardless of height, according to OSHA requirements. Other fall protection systems can be added to the boom lift, including guardrail systems, as well.
