First, hats off to our hosts, Master Builders and Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania, who took the attendees to a Pirates-Padres game and better introduced us to the vibrant city of Pittsburgh. The content of the last two Committee meetings has also been outstanding. I’ll try to later post more information.

A. OSHA’s New Construction Confined Space Entry Standard

Jim Goss, the Government Affairs Committee, and a Pane of contractors ...

OSHA has finally released the Construction Confined Space standard. In addition to the Standard, OSHA has established an improved Construction Confined Spaces page, complete with four new Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) handouts. The final Standard is what we were led to expect when we visited DC last month and more aligns General Industry and Construction practices. See OSHA Press Release.
