Title:

Concrete and Masonry Construction Safety Standards; Correction

Abstract:
This rule corrects a technical error in OSHA's final rule for
Concrete and Masonry Construction located in subpart Q of 29 CFR
1926. 704(b). That final rule was published in the Fed. Reg. on June
16, 1988 (53 FR 22612) and was subsequently incorrectly published in
the 1988 edition of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Both the
Federal Register and the CFR contain the error. Both documents
contain the word "should" in 1926.704(b) instead of the word
"shall". This rule corrects the error by changing the word "should"
to "shall". Effective date: October 5, 1989.
