OSHA extends temp enforcement for residential fall protection
OSHA has announced that it will extend for three months its temporary enforcement measures in residential construction fall protection – to March 15, 2013.
Those measures include priority free on-site compliance assistance, penalty reductions, extended abatement dates, measures to ensure consistency, and increased outreach. OSHA says it has performed more than 3,000 on-site visits, conducted close to 1,100 training sessions and delivered close to 500 presentations in an effort to assist employers in complying with the new directive.
