The following page provides links to OSHA Construction Standards, agency policies for enforcing the standards, and other information to assist the construction industry: http://www.osha.gov/doc/compliance.html
OSHA Construction Compliance, Technical, and Training Information relating to specific topics can be found at: http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/index.html
OSHA Technical Links pages include OSHA Standards, directives and outreach information associated with specific topics ( http://www.osha.gov/doc/topics.html ) which include:
-
Partnerships. An OSHA Directive describing a cooperative approach safety and health in the workplace.
-
Residential Construction. National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) "Jobsite Safety Handbook" for residential construction; a joint effort by NAHB and OSHA.
Construction eTools. These eTools are "stand-alone", interactive, Web-based training tools on construction topics. They are highly illustrated and utilize graphical menus as well as expert system modules. These modules enable the user to answer questions, and receive reliable advice on how OSHA regulations apply to their work site. eCATs do not include expert systems but are fully illustrated. Expert Advisors are based solely on expert systems
( http://www.osha.gov/doc/construction_ecats.html) and includes:
Construction: Preventing Fatalities. Construction can be a safe occupation when workers are aware of the hazards, and an effective Safety and Health Program is used. This eCAT will help workers identify and control the hazards that commonly cause the most serious construction injuries.
Scaffolding. An estimated 2.3 million construction workers, or 65% of the construction industry, work on scaffolds frequently. Protecting these workers from scaffold-related accidents would prevent 4,500 injuries and 50 deaths every year, at a savings for American employers of $90 million in workdays not lost. This eCAT provides illustrated safety checklists for specific types of scaffolds. Hazards are identified, as well as the controls that keep those hazards from becoming tragedies. Only the Fabricated Frame section of the Supported Scaffolds is available at this time.
Asbestos Electronic Advisor: This interactive computer program is intended to provide an introduction to the scope and logic of the regulation for general industry, construction, and maritime. It is down loadable.
Lead in Construction: This computer program provides an introduction to the scope and logic of the regulation and summary guidance to facilitate compliance.
