Answer to Question 1

29 CFR 1926 is the OSHA standard that applies specifically to construction. It is divided into subparts numbered from A to Z. Each subpart covers a specific area of concern. Subpart A covers purpose, scope, variances from safety and health standards, and enforcement of the standards. A major focus of this subpart is the right of the U.S. Secretary of Labor or the designated representative of the Secretary to enter any jobsite that falls under the jurisdiction of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Acts (Section 107). The principal message contained in this subpart is that the Secretary has the right to conduct on-site inspections to determine if a construction company is complying with applicable standards. There is also a detailed explanation of the rules governing administrative adjudication of cases when violations are noted by an inspector in the process of enforcing the OSHA standards. Subpart A contains the following sections:
1926.1 Purpose and scope
1926.2 Variations from safety and health standards
1926.3 Inspections right of entry
1926.4 Rule of practice for administrative adjudication's for enforcement of safety and health standards
