OSHA considers asbestos remediation activities involving asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) to be covered by the construction asbestos standard [1926.1101] rather than the general industry standard [1910.1001] when the activities are construction-like (including repair, renovation, or remediation). This interpretation is provided in OSHA's letter on asbestos remediation protocols at Asbestos remediation protocols. Employers performing remediation should follow 1926.1101 as explained in that interpretation.
Yes. 1910.147(f)(1) allows temporary removal of lockout/tagout devices and re-energizing to perform testing or positioning, but only after following the specified sequence of protective steps (clear tools, remove employees, remove devices, energize while providing employee protection, then re-isolate and reapply devices). This clarification is explained in OSHA's letter on the minor servicing exception at Minor servicing exception clarification. Employers must still comply with the procedural steps in 1910.147.
Yes. Storage of pre-charged air conditioners or heat pumps containing a Category 1 flammable gas in one location on site in an aggregate quantity at or above the threshold quantity can be a PSM-covered process under 1910.119. OSHA's interpretation on aggregating flammable gas quantities explains that such storage and on-site movement constitute a covered process; see the letter at PSM flammable gas aggregation.
Yes. If a crane operator is exposed to the potential for head injury from falling objects, employers must provide and require the use of protective helmets under 1910.135(a)(1); OSHA's interpretation on head protection for crane operators confirms this requirement at Head protection for crane operators. Employers must also ensure helmets meet the referenced ANSI standards in 1910.135(b)(1).
No. OSHA does not specifically require fall protection simply when an employee steps off a portable ladder onto a low slope roof and walks directly to a work area 25 feet from the edge; however, fall protection requirements may apply depending on the nature, frequency, and duration of the work and the distance from the roof edge. OSHA's interpretation on fall protection on low slope roofs explains that other provisions of 1910.28 may apply when work is performed less than 6 feet from the roof edge or when work is temporary but 15 feet or more from the edge; see Fall protection on low slope roofs.
No. Effective immediately and until further notice OSHA stated it will not enforce the COVID-19 Healthcare ETS recordkeeping and reporting requirements in 1910.502(q) and (r), although other recordkeeping requirements under part 1904 remain enforceable. See OSHA's enforcement memorandum at COVID-19 recordkeeping enforcement stay.
When a 1926 provision is mapped to 1910.134 by the 1926 designations table at 1926 Subpart Z App A, employers must follow the respiratory protection program elements in 1910.134, including medical evaluation, fit testing, training, and program administration.
