Scaffolding good practices Occupational Health & Safety Magazine
A recent scaffolding interpretation from OSHA prods general contractors to ensure subcontractors' safe operations.
It's a good idea to monitor OSHA's Standard Interpretations site on a regular basis. You can easily find the site by clicking on the 'interpretations' link right from OSHA's www.osha.gov homepage. Although long periods of inactivity are common there, the site's occasional updates are important guides to the agency's enforcement strategy. Construction gets as much attention as any area under OSHAs jurisdiction.
