OSHA is seeking comments to a proposed rule regarding railroad construction equipment provisions in the Cranes and Derricks in Construction standard. The agency says the proposed rule, which was published yesterday, would maintain safety and health protections for workers, and address employers’ compliance burdens.
The final rule for Cranes and Derricks in Construction was published August 9, 2010. the Association of American Railroads (AAR) filed a petition challenging certain requirements affecting railroad roadway work equipment.
