29 CFR 1926.202 Barricades. Use this standard for citations pertaining to
the design or application of barriers. The American National Standards
Institute D6.1-1971, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets
and Highways referenced in the standard lists 2 applications where barricades
shall be used. (See section 6C-7 Barricade application)
29 CFR 1926.201 Signaling. This standard is to be used to cite for lack of
signs, signals, barricades, flagmen or other appropriate traffic controls.
If signs, signals, and barricades are being used and they do not provide the
necessary protection, then flagmen or other appropriate traffic controls
shall be required. However, if signs, signals, barricades, and flagmen or
other appropriate traffic controls are being used, the employer would be in
compliance.
