Specifications include, but are not limited to: HOUSEKEEPING AND ACCESS AROUND SITE Keep all walkways and stairways clear of trash/debris and other materials such as tools and supplies to prevent tripping. Keep boxes, scrap lumber and other materials picked up and put in a dumpster or trash/debris area to prevent fire and tripping hazards. Provide enough light to allow workers to see and to prevent accidents. STAIRS AND LADDERS All stairs are to be equipped with standard handrails. Keep ladders in good condition and free of defects – Do not use job made ladders. Inspect ladders before use for broken rungs or other defects so falls don’t happen. Discard defective ladders. Secure ladders at the top and brace or tie off at the bottom to prevent them from slipping and causing falls. SCAFFOLDS AND OTHER WORK PLATFORMS Scaffolding is to be assembled and used according to OSHA regulations. General scaffolding guidance: Provide ladders or stairs to access scaffold and work platforms safely. Keep scaffolds and work platforms free of debris.
