- Abstract
- The guidelines furnished are based on existing OSHA regulations, but highlight their application to this type of construction by pointing out critical construction operations, their safety aspects, and needed compliance inspection procedures. Major regulatory provisions affecting the basic construction plans, safety aspects of design criteria and responsibilities, recordkeeping, and inspections are summarized. Special attention is given to construction loadings, construction sequences, hoisting systems, and personnel safety training. Detailed identification is made of items relating to concrete inspection, concrete control, formwork operations, construction loadings, hoisting systems, and construction safety planning.
