        <RULE_TITLE>Scaffolds (Part 1926) (Construction: Safer Scaffolds)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the Reagan Administration, OSHA issued a proposal (51 FR 42680) to address the 23 fatalities and 15,600 injuries still occurring annually from scaffolds in the construction industry. The existing OSHA standard is poorly formatted and contains unnecessary specific coverage for certain types of scaffolds. The proposal raises several significant issues including (1) the use of crossbraces as guardrails, (2) the use of fall protection during scaffold erection and dismantling operations, and (3) the role of engineers in scaffold design.]]></ABSTRACT>
