Abstract:
This notice schedules an informal public hearing concerning the
proposed revision of certain recordkeeping requirements in 29 CFR
Parts 1910 and 1915 for tests, inspections and maintenance checks.
Under the proposal, compliance with the substantive requirements
would be certified by the employer instead of being documented with
written records (51 FR 312, January 3, 1986).

Abstract:
Recordkeeping requirements for tests, inspections, and maintenance
checks. Existing recordkeeping requirements will be minimized by
allowing the employer to certify that regulatory requirements have
been met. Revises 1926.550(b)(2), Cranes and Derricks;
1926.552(c)(15), Material Hoists, Personnel Hoists and Elevators;
1926.903(e), Underground Transportation of Explosive. Written
comments, objections, and requests for a hearing must be postmarked
by March 4, 1986.

Abstract:
Revision of the electrical safety standards for construction in
Subpart K of 29 CFR Part 1926. National Electrical Code (NEC)
requirements will no longer be incorporated by reference since those
requirements which directly affect employee safety in construction
workplaces have been placed in the text of the standard. Relevant
requirements in the text of Subpart K, which supplemented the NEC,
have been integrated into the new format. Superfluous detailed
specifications have been omitted by writing the requirements in
performance language.

Abstract:
Safety standards for fall protection in the Construction Industry.
The standards proposed for revision regulate the design and use of
fall protection systems and procedures used in construction to
prevent employees from falling into or through working levels,
falling to lower levels, and to protect employees from falling
objects. Written comments and requests for hearings should be
postmarked by February 23, 1987.

Abstract:
Application for a variance by Zurn Industries, Inc. from the
standards prescribed in 1926.451(1)(5) concerning boatswain's chairs

(c)(14)(i) and (iii) and (c)(16) concerning personnel hoists.

Abstract:
Safety standards for scaffolds used in the Construction Industry.
The standards proposed for revision regulate the design,
construction and use of all scaffolds in construction. The proposed
revisions would continue to address employee exposure, but would do
so using performance criteria, where possible, rather than
specifications standards. Appendix A to Subpart L provides scaffold
specifications. Comments and hearing requests must be postmarked by
February 23, 1987.
