## 4. Enforcement In the event of violations, citations shall be recommended and civil assessments derived in accordance with procedures set forth in Chapters 4, 5 and 6. ## C. Employer Workplace Inspections of employers in the construction industry are not easily separable into distinct establishments. The establishment is generally the site where the construction is being performed (e.g., the building site, the dam site). Where the construction site extends over a large geographical area (e.g., road construction), the entire job will be considered a single worksite. In cases when such large geographical areas overlap between states, only operations of the employer within the State of Utah will be considered as the worksite of the employer for UOSH inspection purposes. In such cases, the Director or designee may consult with the applicable Federal or other State Plan OSHA Office and refer potential safety and/or health hazards if warranted. For instructions regarding multi-employer worksites, see Chapter 12, Section I. ## D. Advance Notice ## 1. General The same general policies and procedures on advance notice set forth in Chapter 3 are applicable to construction inspections. Thus, in general, advance notice will be given only where it will enhance the effectiveness of the inspection. ## 2. Authorized When advance notice is authorized, the CSHO shall contact the general contractor's office by telephone. If there is more than one general contractor (e.g., if two or more general contractors have formed a joint venture for purposes of the job in question), the CSHO shall attempt to ascertain the identity of all such general contractors and contact each of them. The general contractor(s) shall be told to advise all subcontractors working on the job that the inspection will take place. The general contractor shall also be asked to advise the labor organizations representing employees and to instruct each subcontractor to take similar action, in accorda…

Follow-Up Files - Follow-up inspection reports shall be included with the original (parent) case file. ## b. CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS - 1. Standards Applicability - The standards published as 29 CFR Part 1926 have been adopted as occupational safety and health standards under NRS 618.295(8) and §1910.12. They shall apply to every employment and place of employment of every employee engaged in construction work, including non-contract construction. - 2. Definition - The term "construction work" as defined by §1926.32(g) means work for construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and decorating. These terms are also discussed in §1926.13. If any question arises, as to whether an activity is construction or not, the Supervisor, DM, or CAO shall be consulted. ## 3. Employer Worksite - A. Inspections of employers in the construction industry are not easily separable into distinct worksites. The worksite is generally the site where the construction is being performed (i.e., the building site, the dam site). Where the construction site extends over a large geographical (i.e., road, building), the entire job will be considered a single worksite. In cases when such large geographical areas overlap between District Offices, generally only operations of the employer within the jurisdiction of any District Office will be considered as the worksite of the employer. - B. When a construction worksite extends beyond a single District Office and the CSHO believes that the inspection should be extended, the affected DMs shall consult with each other and take appropriate action. ## 4. Upon Entering the Workplace - A. CSHOs shall ascertain whether there is a representative of a Federal contracting agency at the worksite.…

## 1.9 END OF WORK SHIFT SAFETY Perform all of the following procedures after each shift is complete to insure the machine it in optimal operating condition for the next shift or job site. - 1. Move the machine to a firm, level surface. - 2. Lower attachment to the ground. - 3. Refill fuel tank to full mark to reduce air volume and condensation (moisture). This will decrease the possibility of freezing in the fuel tank rusting due to moisture and other problems associated with start up and operation. - 4. Close and secure all windows in place to prevent water or moisture reaching the electrical components of the machine. - 5. Thoroughly clean and inspect the machine. Perform lubrication maintenance and repair or replace any problem areas found before restarting the machine. - 6. If performing the machine storage in cold climates, it may be necessary to remove the batteries from the machine and store in a warm well ventilated area. Install the batteries in the machine before next start up. This will help prevent premature battery deterioration. - 7. Remove key from key switch and lock all doors and access panels.
