This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The information-collection requirements, and their rational, contained in 29 CFR Part 1926, subpart Q Concrete and Masonry Construction are listed below.
Paragraph (c)(2) of § 1926.701 requires signs and barriers be erected to limit employee access to the post-tensioning area during tensioning operations. Paragraphs (a)(2) and (j)(1) are two general requirements to use lockout/tagout measures to protect workers from injury associated with equipment and machinery.
Paragraph (a)(2) of § 1926.703 requires employers to make available, at the jobsite, drawings or plans for: the jack layout, formwork (including shoring equipment), working decks, and scaffolds, as well as any revisions to these documents. Paragraph (a) of § 1926.705 requires employers engaged in lift-slab operations to have specific designs and plans detailing the lift-slab operation. Drawings, plans and/or designs are developed and kept available at the jobsite as a usual and customary business practice to be used by the various contractors during construction; therefore, OSHA assumes there are no burden hours or costs associated with preparing drawings, plans or designs and having them on the jobsite.
Section 1926.705(b) requires that jacks used for lifting operations be marked to indicate their rated capacity. Manufacturers of jacks rated the equipment as a usual and customary practice; therefore, OSHA assumes there are no burden hours or costs to employers for these marking requirements.
OSHA is proposing to extend the information-collection requirements contained in the Standard on Concrete and Masonry Construction (28 CFR 1926, Subpart Q).
Title: Concrete and Masonry Construction (29 CFR part 1926, Subpart Q).
