This checklist helps employers and employees in general industry and construction comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s standards for welding, cutting, and brazing. It is based on 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910, Subpart Q, and 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart J, OSHA Standards for the General and Construction Industry.
These standards can be found on OSHA’s website at www.osha.gov.Employers in the construction industry should review the section dealing with general industry, because some of the questions apply to all worksites. Compliance with this checklist does not necessarily assure full compliance with all OSHA standards.
