Abstract
Negotiated rulemaking is currently underway to develop a proposed revision of OSHA's standards for steel erection in subpart R of part 1926. That proposal is expected to include fall protection requirements for employees performing steel erection work. OSHA has concluded that the Agency's recently revised general requirements for fall protection (subpart M of part 1926) should be amended at this time to clarify that they do not apply to any steel erection activities. Therefore, OSHA is withdrawing amendments to subpart E which have not yet become effective and is amending certain provisions of subpart M of part 1926 in order to maintain the fall protection requirements for steel erection that were in effect before the issuance of revised subpart M.
