Title 29: Labor
PART
1910—OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS
Subpart
D—Walking-Working Surfaces

§ 1910.22   General
requirements.

This section applies to all permanent places of employment, except
where domestic, mining, or agricultural work only is performed. Measures
for the control of toxic materials are considered to be outside the scope
of this section.

(a) Housekeeping. (1) All
places of employment, passageways, storerooms, and service rooms shall be
kept clean and orderly and in a sanitary condition.

(2) The floor of every workroom shall be maintained in a clean and, so
far as possible, a dry condition. Where wet processes are used, drainage
shall be maintained, and false floors, platforms, mats, or other dry
standing places should be provided where practicable.

(3) To facilitate cleaning, every floor, working place, and passageway
shall be kept free from protruding nails, splinters, holes, or loose
boards.

(b) Aisles and passageways. (1)
Where mechanical handling equipment is used, sufficient safe clearances
shall be allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and
wherever turns or passage must be made. Aisles and passageways shall be
kept clear and in good repairs, with no obstruction across or in aisles
that could create a hazard.

(2) Permanent aisles and passageways shall be appropriately marked.

(c) Covers and guardrails.
Covers and/or guardrails shall be provided to protect personnel from the
hazards of open pits, tanks, vats, ditches, etc.

(d) Floor loading protection.
(1) In every building or other structure, or part thereof, used for
mercantile, business, industrial, or storage purposes, the loads approved
by the building official shall be marked on plates of approved design
which shall be supplied and securely affixed by the owner of the building,
or his duly authorized agent, in a conspicuous place in each space to
which they relate. Such plates shall not be removed or defaced but, if
lost, removed, or defaced, shall be replaced by the owner or his
agent.

(2) It shall be unlawful to place, or cause, or permit to be placed, on
any floor or roof of a building or other structure a load greater than
that for which such floor or roof is approved by the building
official.
