The health and safety techniques developed during the 2012 Olympic build can be mimicked in other construction projects to prevent injuries, according to a study by IOSH and the UK Health & Safety Executive. Note the 5 best practices that can be repeated.

Bill,

 

I can e-mail you the form my company uses. I work for a demolition company, but it might get you started. I also have Turner Construction's. Email me at dskaggs@rdidemolition.com and I will send you the forms.

Construction Confined Space Entry.

Greetings Group.  While I was out of the country for a spell, I found out that OSHA released their new version for confinded space for comments.  I was looking on the web site and could not find it quickly.  Does anyone have a copy of their proposed standard that they could share?

Basically, noone knows the actual legal standard width minimum for a legal step bench.

Can anyone give me proper clarification on the matter of MOL approved step bench's for drywallers? As I understand it, there are two different regulations which the MOL inspectors refer to when they see those benches on site... if the drywall bench is considered to be a work platform, it needs to be a minimum of 18" inches wide -

73(4) A runway, ramp or platform shall be at least 460 millimetres wide and shall be securely fastened in place. O. Reg. 213/91, s. 73 (4).

and if the drywall bench is considered to be a step ladder, the worker cannot stand on the top of it -

83. (1) When a step-ladder is being used as a self-supporting unit, its legs shall be fully-spread and its spreader shall be locked. O. Reg. 213/91, s. 83 (1).
(2) No worker shall stand on the top of or the pail shelf of a step-ladder. O. Reg. 213/91, s. 83 (2).
I have been trying to get a confirmation on this regulation. I have heard about this from other customers but when we call the MOL, they tell us that it doesn’t exist. There was the same issue in the paint industry were some inspectors are using their “own” regulation as the standard.

Anyone help with this GREY area??
