Excerpts from Part 1910. Throughout the construction standards, there are cross-references to corresponding sections of Part 1910 - the general industry standards. For your convenience, the editors of this book have inserted the complete text of each general industry section/appendix immediately following each cross-reference. All incorporated general industry sections have a green background to differentiate them from the construction industry text. A finding table for all Part 1910 excerpts follows the Table of Contents for this book.
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.
