CFR 167A - Accident Prevention Signs and Tags

On June 13, 2013, OSHA issued this direct final rule to update general industry and construction signage standards by adding references to the latest versions of ANSI standards on specifications for accident prevention signs and tags. The direct final rule allows employers to follow either the updated ANSI standards or the older ANSI signage standards already referenced in OSHA’s existing general industry and construction standards. The direct final rule also incorporates by reference Part VI of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 1988 Edition, Revision 3, into 29 CFR 1926.6, and amends citations in two provisions of the construction standards to show the correct incorporation by reference section.

On November 6, 2013, OSHA issued a correction to the direct final rule as well as a confirmation of effective date [Federal Register (Vol. 78, No. 114) and Federal Register (Vol. 78, No. 215)].

The N.C. Commissioner of Labor adopted this direct final rule, confirmation of effective date and correction verbatim with an effective date of November 18, 2013.
