    PART 1926 SAFETY
    AND HEALTH
    REGULATIONS FOR
    CONSTRUCTION
    1926.20 Subpart C: General Safety & Health
    Provisions

    (a) Contractor requirements.


    (a)(1) Section 107 of the Act requires ….. that no contractor or subcontractor for any part of the
    contract work shall require any laborer or mechanic employed in the performance of the
    contract to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous,
    or dangerous to his health or safety.
    (b) Accident prevention responsibilities.

    (b)(1) It shall be the responsibility of the employer to initiate and maintain such programs as may be
    necessary to comply with this part.

    (b)(2) Such programs shall provide for frequent and regular inspections of the job sites, materials, and
    equipment to be made by competent persons designated by the employers.
    • Consider three elements in a working definition of
    “construction safety”
    – A person will not be required to work in surroundings or conditions which are unsafe or dangerous to health
    – Employer is responsible for initiating and maintaining a safety/health program that complies with standards
    – Each individual is responsible for complying with applicable safety requirements
    1926.16 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION
    SUBPART B GENERAL INTERPRETATIONS
    (a) “…In no case shall the prime contractor be relieved of overall
    responsibility for compliance with the requirements of this part
    for all work to be performed under the contract.”

    (b) “By contracting for full performance of a contract … the prime


    contractor assumes all obligations prescribed as employer
    obligations under the standards contained in this part,
    whether or not he subcontracts any part of the work.
    1926.16 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION
    SUBPART B GENERAL INTERPRETATIONS

    (c) “… subcontractor of any tier … also assumes responsibility for complying with the
    standards in this part with respect to that part. Thus, the prime contractor assumes the
    entire responsibility under the contract and the subcontractor assumes responsibility
    with respect to his portion of the work. With respect to subcontracted work, the prime
    contractor and any subcontractor or subcontractors shall be deemed to have joint
    responsibility.

    (d) Where joint responsibility exists, both the prime contractor and his subcontractor or
    subcontractors, regardless of tier, shall be considered subject to the enforcement
    provisions of the Act.
