Abstract: OSHA's standard on Signs, Signals and Barricades (Subpart G- 29 CFR 1926.200 through .203) currently incorporates the American National Standards Institute's 1971 industry consensus standard ANSI D6.1-1971. The ANSI organization has withdrawn its 1971 standard and the U.S. Department of Transportation has issued an updated standard, A Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD). For this reason, OSHA intends to issue a proposal to update Subpart G to incorporate the requirements of the Department of Transportation's MUTCD into the OSHA rule.
