Title: Shipyard Fall Protection--Scaffolds, Ladders and Other Working Surfaces | |
Abstract: Existing 29 CFR Part 1915, subpart E; Scaffolds Ladders and Other Working Surfaces includes scaffolds or staging, ladders, guarding of deck openings and edges, access to vessels, access to and guarding of dry docks and marine railways, access to cargo spaces and confined spaces, and working surfaces. These requirements are not comprehensive in their coverage of fall hazards in shipyards. In addition, provisions will be updated to reflect technological advances, while other provisions will be revised to be consistent with national consensus standards. Since this would result in a large, cumbersome subpart, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will request information in dividing this rulemaking into three subparts: subpart E Stairways, Ladders and Other Access and Egress; subpart M Fall Protection; and subpart N Scaffolds. The estimated number of annualized fatalities associated with each subpart are: subpart E; Stairways, Ladders and Other Access and Egress. Approximately 1 to 2 fatalities are occurring each year; subpart M; Fall Protection. Approximately 3 to 4 fatalities in shipyards, associated with falls from elevations, are occurring each year; subpart N; Scaffolds. Approximately 1 fatality is occurring each year. | |
