Occupational Safety & Health Simplified for the Construction Industry

[Old Stagehand]

More details
The first of a new Government Institutes series, this reference serves construction businesses and managers who want quick answers to complicated questions. Produced by Government Institutes Research Group, this new book makes the difficult task of complying with the 29 CFR 1926 regulations easier to manage. From General Safety Provisions to Fall Protection to Toxic and Hazardous Substances, readers will examine the standards of 29 CFR 1926 one-by-one with nontechnical, implementer-friendly explanations of the requirements and how to fulfill them. You'll also get a breakdown, sub-part by sub-part, of the training standards for the construction industry.

In addition, this book will show you how to prevent the four leading causes of fatal accidents, which ten OSHA standards construction sites violate most often, and how non-Spanish-speaking managers can effectively communicate safety requirements with Spanish-speaking employees. You'll find answers to all of your compliance questions, including who is obligated to observe the law, what the law requires, what your OSHA compliance obligations are, and how state OSHA standards compare to federal OSHA standards.
