Abstract: Section 29 CFR 1926.50(f) requires employers to post emergency telephone numbers at the worksite if the 911 emergency telephone service is not available. Section 29 CFR 1926.250(a)(2) requires that employers post the maximum safe load limits of floors located in storage areas inside buildings or other structures unless the floors are on grade. Posting emergency telephone numbers and floor load limits reduces employees’ risk of death and serious injury by ensuring that employment has been tested and is in safe operating condition.
