Safety Standards for Scaffolds Used in the Construction Industry

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor.

ACTION: Proposed rule; limited reopening of the rulemaking record.

See Proposed Revocation FR dated 5/28/82 for paragraphs affected.

Abstract:
This final rule revokes 153 of the 194 provisions of the General
Industry Standards (29 CFR 1910) which were proposed for revocation
on May 28, 1982 (47 CFR 23477). These provisions use the word
"should," or other advisory language instead of the mandatory
"shall." Also revoked are three sections whose requirements are
repeated elsewhere in Part 1910, and one advisory paragraph which
was improperly adopted by OSHA as a mandatory provision.
