January 13, 1981 Mr. James Richardson International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen 815 15th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006 Dear Mr. Richardson: This is in response to your letter of January 6, 1981 concerning the applicability of standards 29 CFR 1926.28, 29 CFR 1926.104, 29 CFR 1926.105, and 29 CFR 1926.500(d)(1) to the process of overhand-bricklaying. It is the interpretation of OSHA that these standards do not apply to the process of overhand-bricklaying and that, therefore, masons and mason tenders are exempt from these regulations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will continue to study the problem by consulting with the Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health, the Mason Contractors of America, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied craftsmen, the International Laborers Union, and other interested parties, to determine what new regulations, if any, would be appropriate for promulgation concerning this matter. Sincerely, Eula Bingham Assistant Secretary Occupational Safety and Health |
