As we know, OSHA has now updated their standards with the following NEW WWS Standards. As a safety pro, when trying to understand ALL the new requirements I like to take the standard(s) and “tier” them so as to make clear what and when a requirement applies. I am posting these (links below) for others that may find this helpful. I did NOT do 1910.24 – Step bolts and manhole steps, 1910.26 – Dockboard, or 1910.27 – Scaffolds and rope descent systems.
1910.22 – General requirements
1910.23 – Ladders
1910.24 – Step bolts and manhole steps
1910.25 – Stairways
1910.26 – Dockboards
