^{Construction Industry Safety Programs}

     The construction industry is required to comply with all the same requirements as general industry under    OSHA standards as well as programs established specifically for the construction industry.  As an example, if a construction company has employees using respirators, it would be required to follow the same criteria for Respiratory Protection as general industry is required to;  if the construction company has potentially hazardous materials on site it would be required to have the same Hazards Communication program as general industry, if it has confined spaces it would be required to have a Confined Space Entry program and it would be required to have a Lockout/Tagout program, Personal Protective Equipment program, and so forth. 

     Additionally, the construction industry, depending upon its processes, may need to have some of the following programs as well:
