Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1926.700 through 706 -- sets forth requirements with which construction employers must comply to protect construction workers from 

accidents and injuries resulting from the premature removal of formwork, the failure to brace masonry walls, the failure to support precast panels, the inadvertent operation of 

equipment, and the failure to guard reinforcing steel.

Subpart Q prescribes performance-oriented requirements designed to help protect all construction workers from the hazards associated with concrete and masonry 

construction operations at construction, demolition, alteration, or repair worksites. Other relevant provisions in both general industry and construction standards (29 CFR Parts 

1910 and 1926) also apply to these operations.

What Are the Key, New Changes to the Standard?

OSHA's concrete and masonry standard includes the following important changes:

◾ Expands and toughens protection against masonry wall collapses by requiring bracing and a limited access zone prior to the construction of a wall; 

◾ Permits employers to use several more recently developed methods of testing concrete instead of just the one currently recognized method; and 

◾ Sets and clarifies requirements for both cast-in-place concrete and precast concrete during construction. 

What Are the Components of the New Standard?

Subpart Q is divided into the following major groups each of which is discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs:

◾ Scope, application, and definitions (29 CFR 1926.700); 

◾ General requirements (29 CFR 1926.702); 

◾ Equipment and tools (29 CFR 1926.702); 

◾ Cast-in-place concrete (20 CFR 1926.703); 

◾ Precast concrete (29 CFR 1926.704); 

◾ Lift-slab construction (29 CFR 1926.705); and 

◾ Masonry construction (29 CFR 1926.706). 

What Are the General Requirements of the Standard?

Construction Loads

Employers must not place construction loads on a concrete structure or portion of a concrete structure unless the employer determines, based on information received from a 

person who is qualified in structural design, that the structure or portion of the structure is capable of supporting the intended loads.

Reinforcing Steel

All protruding reinforcing steel, onto and into which employees could fall, must be guarded to eliminate the hazard of impalement.

Post-Tensioning Operations

Employees (except those essential to the post-tensioning operations) must not be permitted to be behind the jack during tensioning operations.

Signs and barriers must be erected to limit employee access to the post-tensioning area during tensioning operations.

Concrete Buckets

Employees must not be permitted to ride concrete buckets.

Working Under Loads

Employees must not be permitted to work under concrete buckets while the buckets are being elevated or lowered into position.

To the extent practicable, elevated concrete buckets must be routed so that no employee or the fewest employees possible are exposed to the hazards associated with falling 

concrete buckets.

Personal Protective Equipment

Employees must not be permitted to apply a cement, sand, and water mixture through a pneumatic hose unless they are wearing protective head and face equipment.

Equipment and Tools

The standard also includes requirements for the following equipment and operations:

◾ Bulk cement storage, 

◾ Concrete mixers, 

◾ Power concrete trowels, 

◾ Concrete buggies, 

◾ Concrete pumping systems, 

◾ Concrete buckets, 

◾ Tremies, 

◾ Bull floats, 

◾ Masonry saws, and 

◾ Lockout/tagout procedures. 

What Are the Requirements for Cast-in-Place Concrete?

General Requirements for Formwork

Formwork must be designed, fabricated, erected, supported, braced, and maintained so that it will be capable of supporting without failure all vertical and lateral loads that 

might be applied to the formwork. As indicated in the Appendix to the standard, formwork that is designed, fabricated, erected, supported, braced, and maintained in 

conformance with Sections 6 and 7 of the American National Standard for Construction and Demolition Operations -- Concrete and Masonry Work (ANSI) A10.9-1983 also 

meets the requirements of this paragraph.

Drawings or Plans

Drawings and plans, including all revisions for the jack layout, formwork (including shoring equipment), working decks, and scaffolds, must be available at the jobsite.

Shoring and Reshoring

All shoring equipment (including equipment used in reshoring operations) must be inspected prior to erection to determine that the equipment meets the requirements 

specified in the formwork drawings.

Damaged shoring equipment must not be used for shoring. Erected shoring equipment must be inspected immediately prior to, during, and immediately after concrete 

placement. Shoring equipment that is found to be damaged or weakened after erection must be immediately reinforced.

The sills for shoring must be sound, rigid, and capable of carrying the maximum intended load. All base plates, shore heads, extension devices, and adjustment screws must 

be in firm contact and secured, when necessary, with the foundation and the form.

Concrete and Masonry Construction Page 2 of 9

https://www.osha.gov/Publications/3106.html 8/4/2015
Eccentric loads on shore heads must be prohibited unless these members have been designed for such loading.

If single-post shores are used one on top of another (tiered), then additional shoring requirements must be met. The shores must be as follows:

◾ Designed by a qualified designer and the erected shoring must be inspected by an engineer qualified in structural design, 

◾ Vertically aligned, 

◾ Spliced to prevent misalignment, and 

◾ Adequately braced in two mutually perpendicular directions at the splice level. Each tier also must be diagonally braced in the same two directions. 

Adjustment of single-post shores to raise formwork must not be made after the placement of concrete.

Reshoring must be erected, as the original forms and shores are removed, whenever the concrete is required to support loads in excess of its capacity.

Vertical Slip Forms

The steel rods or pipes on which jacks climb or by which the forms are lifted must be (1) specifically designed for that purpose and (2) adequately braced where not encased 

in concrete. Forms must be designed to prevent excessive distortion of the structure during the jacking operation. Jacks and vertical supports must be positioned in such a 

manner that the loads do not exceed the rated capacity of the jacks.

The jacks or other lifting devices must be provided with mechanical dogs or other automatic holding devices to support the slip forms whenever failure of the power supply or 

lifting mechanisms occurs.

The form structure must be maintained within all design tolerances specified for plumbness during the jacking operation.

The predetermined safe rate of lift must not be exceeded.

All vertical slip forms must be provided with scaffolds or work platforms where employees are required to work or pass.

Reinforcing Steel

Reinforcing steel for walls, piers, columns, and similar vertical structures must be adequately supported to prevent overturning and collapse.

Employers must take measures to prevent unrolled wire mesh from recoiling. Such measures may include, but are not limited to, securing each end of the roll or turning over 

the roll.

Removal of Formwork

Forms and shores (except those that are used for slabs on grade and slip forms) must not be removed until the employer determines that the concrete has gained sufficient 

strength to support its weight and superimposed loads. Such determination must be based on compliance with one of the following:

◾ The plans and specifications stipulate conditions for removal of forms and shores, and such conditions have been followed, or 

◾ The concrete has been properly tested with an appropriate American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard test method designed to indicate the concrete 

compressive strength, and the test results indicate that the concrete has gained sufficient strength to support its weight and superimposed loads. 

Reshoring must not be removed until the concrete being supported has attained adequate strength to support its weight and all loads placed upon it.

Precast Concrete

Precast concrete wall units, structural framing, and tilt-up wall panels must be adequately supported to prevent overturning and to prevent collapse until permanent 

connections are completed.

Lifting inserts that are embedded or otherwise attached to tilt-up wall panels must be capable of supporting at least two times the maximum intended load applied or 

transmitted to them; lifting inserts for other precast members must be capable of supporting four times the load. Lifting hardware shall be capable of supporting at least five 

times the maximum intended load applied or transmitted to the lifting hardware.

Only essential employees are permitted under precast concrete that is being lifted or tilted into position.

Lift-Slab Operations

◾ Lift-slab operations must be designed and planned by a registered professional engineer who has experience in lift-slab construction. Such plans and designs must be 

implemented by the employer and must include detailed instructions and sketches indicating the prescribed method of erection. The plans and designs must also 

include provisions for ensuring lateral stability of the building/structure during construction. 

◾ Jacking equipment must be marked with the manufacturer's rated capacity and must be capable of supporting at least two and one-half times the load being lifted 

during jacking operations and the equipment must not be overloaded. For the purpose of this provision, jacking equipment includes any load bearing component that is 

used to carry out the lifting operation(s). Such equipment includes, but is not limited to, the following: threaded rods, lifting attachments, lifting nuts, hook-up collars, 

T-caps, shearheads, columns, and footings. 

◾ Jacks/lifting units must be designed and installed so that they will neither lift nor continue to lift when loaded in excess of their rated capacity; and jacks/lifting units 

must have a safety device which will cause the jacks/lifting units to support the load at any position in the event of their malfunction or loss of ability to continue to lift. 

◾ No employee, except those essential to the jacking operation, shall be permitted in the building/structure while any jacking operation is taking place unless the 

building/structure has been reinforced sufficiently to ensure its integrity during erection. The phrase "reinforced sufficiently to ensure its integrity" as used in this 

paragraph means that a registered professional engineer, independent of the engineer who designed and planned the lifting operation, has determined from the plans 

that if there is a loss of support at any jack location, that loss will be confined to that location and the structure as a whole will remain stable. 

◾ Under no circumstances shall any employee who is not essential to the jacking operation be permitted immediately beneath a slab while it is being lifted. 

Masonry Construction

Whenever a masonry wall is being constructed, employers must establish a limited access zone prior to the start of construction. The limited access zone must be as follows:

◾ Equal to the height of the wall to be constructed plus 4 feet (1.2 meters), and shall run the entire length of the wall; 

◾ On the side of the wall that will be unscaffolded; 

◾ Restricted to entry only by employees actively engaged in constructing the wall; and 

◾ Kept in place until the wall is adequately supported to prevent overturning and collapse unless the height of the wall is more than 8 feet (2.4 meters) and unsupported, 

in which case it must be braced. The bracing must remain in place until permanent supporting elements of the structure are in place. 

What Other Help Can OSHA Provide?

Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines

Effective management of worker safety and health protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent and severity of workrelated injuries and illnesses and their related 

costs. To assist employers and employees in developing effective safety and health programs, OSHA published recommended Safety and Health Program Management 

Guidelines (Federal Register 54(18):3908-3916, January 26, 1989). These voluntary guidelines apply to all places of employment covered by OSHA.

The guidelines identify four general elements that are critical to the development of a successful safety and health management program:

◾ management commitment and employee involvement, 

◾ worksite analysis, 

Concrete and Masonry Construction Page 3 of 9

https://www.osha.gov/Publications/3106.html 8/4/2015
◾ hazard prevention and control, and 

◾ safety and health training. 

The guidelines recommend specific actions under each of these general elements to achieve an effective safety and health program. A single free copy of the guidelines can be 

obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA/OICA Publications, P.O. Box 37535, Washington, DC 20013-7535, by sending a self-addressed mailing label with your 

request.

State Programs

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 encourages states to develop and operate their own job safety and health plans. States administering occupational safety and 

health programs through plans approved under section 18(b) of the Act, must adopt standards and enforce requirements that are "at least as effective" as federal 

requirements. There are currently 25 State Plan states: 23 cover the private and public sector (state and local governments) and 2 cover the public sector only. For more 

information on state plans, see the list of states with approved plans at the end of this publication.

Free Onsite Consultation

Consultation assistance is available on request to employers who want help in establishing and maintaining a safe and healthful workplace. Largely funded by OSHA, the 

service is provided at no cost to the employer. Primarily developed for smaller employers with more hazardous operations, the consultation service is delivered by state 

government agencies or universities employing professional safety consultants and health consultants. Comprehensive assistance includes an appraisal of all work practices 

and environmental hazards of the workplace and all aspects of the employer's present job safety and health program.

The program is separate from OSHA's inspection efforts. No penalties are proposed or citations issued for any safety or health problems identified by the consultant. The 

service is confidential.

For more information concerning consultation assistance, see the list of consultation projects at the end of this publication.

Voluntary Protection Programs (VPPs)

Voluntary Protection Programs (VPPs) and onsite consultation services, when coupled with an effective enforcement program, expand worker protection to help meet the goals 

of the Act. The three VPPs -- Star, Merit, and Demonstration -- are designed to recognize outstanding achievement by companies that have successfully incorporated 

comprehensive safety and health programs into their total management system. They motivate others to achieve excellent safety and health results in the same outstanding 

way as they establish a cooperative relationship among employers, employees, and OSHA.

For additional information on VPPs and how to apply, contact the OSHA area or regional offices listed at the end of this publication.

Training and Education

OSHA area offices offer a variety of information services, such as publications, audiovisual aids, technical advice, and speakers for special engagements. The OSHA Training 

Institute in Des Plaines, IL, provides basic and advanced courses in safety and health for federal and state compliance officers, state consultants, federal agency personnel, 

and private sector employers, employees, and their representatives.

OSHA also provides funds to nonprofit organizations, through grants to conduct workplace training and education in subjects where OSHA believes there is a lack of workplace 

training. Grants are awarded annually and grant recipients are expected to contribute 20 percent of the total grant cost.

For more information on grants, training, and education, contact the OSHA Training Institute, Office of Training and Education, 1555 Times Drive, Des Plaines, IL 60018; 

telephone: (847) 297-4810.
