Construction d’une Barricade au Faubourg Saint-Antoine
The American Society of Safety Professionals is an ANSI-accredited standards developer for a suite of workplace safety standards that meet, and in many cases, exceed the minimum requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. We find them referenced in state adaptations of the OSHA legislation. The entry point to its standards development enterprise is linked below:
ASSP is updating one of its consensus products — ASSP A10.44 Control of Energy Sources (Lockout/Tagout) for Construction and Demolition Operations
This standard establishes the minimum requirements for the control of energy sources to prevent release of harmful energy that could cause death, injury or illness to personnel performing construction and demolition work. This standard does not cover the following: Installations under the exclusive control of electric utilities for the purpose of power generation, transmission and distribution, including related equipment for communication or metering; exposure to electrical hazards from work on, near or with conductors or equipment in electricutilization installations.
