OSHA Standards for Construction

by Mancomm

In the November 9, 2012 edition of the Federal Register, OSHA broadened the exemption for digger derricks in its standard for cranes and derricks. OSHA issued a final standard updating the requirements for cranes and derricks on August 9, 2010, and the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) petitioned for review of the standard in the United States Court of Appeals. After petitioning, EEI provided OSHA with new information regarding digger derricks. OSHA reviewed the additional information and the rulemaking record, and decided to broaden the exemption for digger derricks used in the electric-utility industry by means of this direct final rule. This direct final rule became effective on February 7, 2013, and affects §1926.952(c)(2).
