J. J. Keller ready to help companies understand and comply with OSHA’s new confined space standard for construction activities
After more than 20 years in the development process, the Confined Spaces in Construction Standard has finally been released by OSHA. Companies now have less than 90 days to comply with the Standard’s effective date of August 3, as there is no phase-in period for the provisions.
The Standard will provide employees performing construction activities with protections similar to those general industry employees have had for more than two decades, but with some differences tailored to employers performing construction work.
