Abstract: Extension of comment period and connection of proposed rule for concrete and masonry construction that was published in 50 FR 373543, dated 9/16/85. Comments deadline: December 16, 1985.
Abstract: Schedules an informal public hearing on the proposed revised standard on Concrete and Masonry Construction (50 FR 37543, September 16, 1985). 1926.707(a)(1) is a new regulation which requires that masonry walls be laterally supported to resist horizontal forces where such walls are incapable of withstanding the forces that will be applied to them. Notices of intention to appear to give oral testimony at the informal public hearing must be postmarked by May 6, 1986.
Abstract: Announces changes in the starting date of public hearing, the location of the hearing, the date for submission of comments, notices of intention to appear, and other documentary evidence on the proposed revision of the safety standards for Concrete and Masonry Construction (51 FR 11945, April 8, 1986) due to schedule conflicts of several witnesses. Notices of intention to appear to give oral testimony at the informal public hearing must be postmarked by May 20, 1986.
Abstract: This rule revises OSHA's safety standards for Concrete and Masonry Construction (formerly Concrete, Concrete Forms, and Shoring) located in Subpart Q of 29 CFR Part 1926. The rule corrects problems related to the existing regulation, including ambiguities, redundancies, and gaps in coverage.
