Boston, MA 02127
Dear Mr. Marr:
Your interpretation of the installation of a peripheral safety railing for decked floors is correct. Section 1926.750(b)(1)(iii) requires the "½-inch wire rope or equal" around planked or decked floors, and we agree that it would be hazardous to install the peripheral safety railing until the decking adjacent to the unprotected outside edge of the floor is in place.
Sincerely,
Required floor guarding for pouring concrete on metal decking.
