DOL/OSHA RIN: 1218-AB62 Publication ID: Spring 1999 
Title: Fall Protection in the Construction Industry 
Abstract: OSHA intends to issue an ANPRM to gather information on the feasibility of fall protection in certain construction processes, such as residential home building, precast concrete operations, and post frame construction. OSHA is preparing to raise a number of issues about the fall protection rules as they now apply to roofing work, residential construction operations, climbing reinforcement steel and vendors delivering materials to construction projects. These issues have arisen since OSHA revised the fall protection standard in August 1994. These issues will be raised in an advance notice of proposed rulemaking, which will be published this year.
