What are the requirements of the lockout/tagout standard? (Construction)
['Lockout/Tagout']
A lockout/tagout regulation for construction, comparable to OSHA’s general industry lockout/tagout rule, does not exist. Although the specific rules are limited, OSHA expects you to always protect your employees from situations that can cause injury or illness. In circumstances where there is not a specific construction regulation, OSHA’s General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, would apply. The limited construction rules apply especially to electrical and mechanical situations.
