The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, is charged with the enforcement of safety and health conditions of workers through the use of regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. OSHA regulations are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1926 is designated for construction industry standards. OSHA walking-working surfaces regulations are detailed in 1926 Subpart C - General Safety and Health Provisions; 1926 Subpart L - Scaffolds; 1926 Subpart M - Fall Protection; and 1926 Subpart X - Stairways and Ladders.
