Description
Newly revised: ANSI/ASSE A1264.1-2007 Standard titled: Safety Requirements for Workplace Walking/Working Surfaces and Their Access; Workplace, Floor, Wall and Roof Openings; Stairs and Guardrails Systems. AND, even more exciting – the ANSI/ASSE A10.18-2007 Standard titled: Safety Requirements for Temporary Roof and Floor Holes, Wall Openings, Stairways and Other Unprotected Edges in Construction and Demolition Operations was recently approved as well.
These two standards have historically played a significant role in the prevention of injuries and fatalities resulting in slips, trips, and falls in both general industry and construction and demolition operations. SH&E professionals have used the A1264.1 standard since the 1960s in the form of the A12.1 and A64.1 standards. During the 1970s, these two standards were consolidated into one document-the A1264.1 standard. This standard(s) has history in excess of forty years and is widely used/recognized in both the private and public sectors. The A10.18 Standard has been in existence since 1983 and is also a well-regarded American National Standard, which is widely used and recognized in the construction and demolitions industry.
The A1264.1 standard was published April 1, 2007 and due to a notice we put out earlier addressing the standard there have been literally hundreds of inquiries. The A10.18 standard was approved as on official standard on March 23, 2007. We believe these standards are important documents for SH&E professionals and it should be used to address risks and exposures with your worksites.
