Safety Standards for Fall Protection in the Construction Industry

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a final rule on Fall Protection in the Construction Industry (59 FR 40672, August 9, 1994), which is scheduled to become effective on February 6, 1995. The Agency has determined that interested persons did not receive adequate notice that subpart M would apply to non-building steel erection activities. Accordingly, OSHA is delaying the application of the final rule to steel erection activities, as well as the effectiveness of certain items in the final rule, until August 6, 1995. OSHA intends to reopen the subpart M rulemaking record in a subsequent Federal Register notice for comment regarding the appropriate fall protection measures to be taken to protect employees engaged in non-building steel erection activities from fall hazards.
