New OSHA Residential Construction Regulation

New OSHA Residential Construction Regulation

According to data from the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, an average of 40 workers are killed each year as a result of falls from residential roofs. As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently announced new fall protection requirements for Residential Construction.

Residential Fall Protection 

EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 15, 2012 - The new directive requires all residential builders to comply with 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1926.501(b)(13).

Under 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(13) workers engaged in residential construction six (6) feet or more above lower levels are to be protected by conventional fall protection. For roofers, the 25 foot, ground-to-eave height threshold no longer applies, nor do slide guards as an acceptable form of fall protection, regardless of the roof pitch or height of the roof eave.

These new requirements replace the Interim Fall Protection Compliance Guidelines for Residential Construction, Standard 03-00-001 that have been in effect since 1995 and allowed residential builders to bypass fall protection requirements.

OSHA has developed training and compliance assistance materials for small employers and will host a webinar for parties interested in learning more about complying with the standard.

OSHA's Residential Fall Protection Web page has many guidance products, including a fall protection slide show to help employers comply with the new directive. Employers are also encouraged to take full advantage of OSHA's On-site Consultation Program, which provides a free compliance assistance services, or contact their local OSHA Area Office to speak with a Compliance Assistant Specialist. See the news release for more information.

North Safety Adaptec Eyewear Systems

Increase safety compliance and job performance with North Adaptec eyewear

See how superior levels of comfort and fit can impact worker job safety and productivity.

Not just technologically advanced, but uniquely personal.

Seven reasons why North Adaptec eyewear offers a higher level of personal comfort, performance and safety.

1. Stay alert with less eye fatigue

Adjustable nose bridge keeps eyes

centered in lens for clearer optics and

reduced eye fatigue.

2. See clearly with less fogging

Vented, cushioned frame allows optimum

air circulation and reduces fogging.

3. Be more protected

Ratcheting temple hinges adjust lens angle

for greater protection and reduced fogging.

4. Be more secure

Proprietary temple design (patent

pending) adjusts temple tension

for personal comfort and non-slip

security. Temple inserts slide from

front to back for firmer fit, – or in

opposite direction for looser fit.

5. Be more comfortable

Soft, flexible material covers frame

components for comfortable, secure fit.

6. Replace lens quickly and easily

Even the toughest lens can break or scratch.

That’s why the North Adaptec features a lens

replacement system that is a snap.

7. Ready for any condition

The North Adaptec 4A lens coating ensures

excellent anti-fog, anti-static and scratch resistant

properties plus 99.9% UV protection.

Available in six tints. Meets ANSI Z87.1-2010

and CSA Z94.3 standards.

Moldex 1500 N95 Healthcare Particulate Respirators

Easy Fit, More Comfort And Dependable.

The molded nose bridge with soft foam nose cushion provides the wearer an easy, comfortable, dependable fit. There’s no metal noseband to adjust and the seal is maintained without pressure points.

Last Longer, Use Fewer.

The Dura-Mesh^® shell, exclusive to Moldex^®, prevents filter media contact by contaminated gloves or hands. The shell resists collapsing, even in heat and humidity, so the respirator holds its shape longer. The result is fewer respirators used and lower costs.

Elastic Straps.

The elastic straps don’t irritate. They are color coded, don’t require prestretching, and they are securely attached. Not manufactured with natural rubber latex.

Suggested Applications

Surgery, hospitals and healthcare facilities, nurse/hospice care, correctional facilities, police, fire and rescue teams, EMS/EMT, homeless shelters, occupational health facilities, school healthcare offices. Note: For areas with oils present, you must use an R or P respirator.

Features

• 100% PVC-Free^®.

• Meets CDC guidelines for protection against TB.

• NIOSH certified to have a filter efficiency of 95% or greater against non-oil based particulates.
