Synopsis: OSHA 1926 standards for the construction industry include requirements concerning general health and safety provisions; hazards; personal protective equipment fire protection; and the handling of materials, tools and machinery. The standards also detail rules for record-keeping, incident reporting and risk management. This edition includes all the regulations for the construction industry including all the applicable standards from the 1910 general industry regulations, the 1903 regulations covering inspections, citations and penalties, and the 1904 regulations covering recording and reporting occupational injuries and illnesses. OSHA standards require employers to be familiar with the regulations and protect workers on the job. Employers have to eliminate hazardous conditions and ensure that employees use personal protective equipment. The standard coverage extends to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and all other territories under federal government jurisdiction. An excellent index and easy to use formatting make this book a must have for all safety training, exam preparation, and/or compliance.
