Local Emphasis Programs
OSHA publishes enforcement strategies designed to address hazards or
industries that pose a significant risk to workers. The Local Emphasis Programs
may be administered by a single Area Office or at the regional level. The
enforcement strategy may be associated with an outreach effort to make employers
aware of the program and the hazards the programs are designed to address. The
most current list of local and regional programs has been included as an
appendix. Employers can use the listing as a guide to industries and hazards
that are an OSHA enforcement focus.
Interpretation letters
In this edition, we include some of the more
recent guidance OSHA has issued in the form of letters of interpretation. Topics
covered include moving mobile scaffolds; requirements for being designates a
competent person under Part 1926 Subpart L (Scaffolds); the requirements for
washing facilities on construction jobsites; walkways within scaffolds,
guardrails, and planking; and adjusting work practices to comply with cave-in
protection requirements in 1926.652, Requirements for protective systems in
excavations. 675 pp.
