(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 9, 2005) – CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of human resources, employment and safety law information and software, has released new editions of its popular handbooks for general industry and construction workplace safety standards. Now available in both print and CD-ROM are Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry (29 CFR Part 1910) and Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry (29 CFR Part 1926). (848 pages, $46.95 in print and $49.95 in CD-ROM; 672 pages, $38.35 in print and $49.95 in CD-ROM, respectively.)

With these 2005 editions, professionals have convenient access to the most recent and complete set of applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards as of January, 2005, to address critical issues in their operations and avoid serious errors, fines and penalties.

Both handbooks also include:

  • Section 1903 regulations on inspections, citations and proposed penalties;
  • Section 1904 regulations covering recording and reporting of occupational injuries and illnesses;
  • Section 1990 carcinogen policy and model standards; and
  • Section 5(a) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the “General Duty” clause).

General Industry Standards

Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry helps companies ensure compliance with important amendments, additions and other changes to the OSHA standards that have been incorporated into this latest edition, including a new OSHA quantitative fit testing methodology that affects respiratory protection standards (effective September 2004) and a new Sarbanes-Oxley employee protection rule containing procedures for handling discrimination complaints made to OSHA. The handbook features numerous Standards Interpretation Letters in which OSHA answers questions about its standards.

Construction Industry

The up-to-date Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry covers new or expanded topics, including the Respiratory Protection Standard and Sarbanes-Oxley employee protections affecting the construction industry.

In addition, throughout the construction standards in this handbook are cross-references to corresponding sections of the Part 1910 general industry standards, and the text of those standards, making this a convenient one-stop source for construction safety information. New topics from General Industry added to this edition cover: Construction Work; Special Provisions for Air Contaminants; Personal Protective Equipment; Occupational Foot Protection; Electrical Protective Devices; Selection and Use of (Electrical) Work Practices; Lockout/ Tagout; Powered Industrial Trucks; and more.
