“Distance” as a passive mitigation measure

Last week I wrote about how either distance or a barrier is necessary to CONTROL hazards.  OSHA’s made a great case in 2020, explaining how the separation distances in 1910.110 is a PASSIVE MITIGATION measure.  (emphasis by me)

OSHA concludes that NFPA 58 (2017), Sections 6.28.2 and 6.28.3, do not provide an equivalent level of safety as provided by the greater separation distance (a PASSIVE MITIGATION MEASURE) required in 29 CFR ยง 1910.110(b)(6)(ii) and Table H-23.
