work site safe. The following are selected requirements:

Safe Practices. 1509(b)
B. It must be specific to the employer’s operations.
1509(b)
C. It must be posted at each job site office or be readily
available at the job site. 1509(c)
D. Workers, when first hired, must be directed to read the
Code of Safe Practices. 1510(a)
Note: Plate A-3 in Appendix

should be used as a starting point for developing a code that
fits the contractor’s operations more exactly.
