Impalement: to fasten, stick, or fix upon a sharpened stake or the like; to pierce with a sharpened stake thrust up through the body, as for torture or punishment (Dictionary.com)
We are familiar with the requirement to protect workers from impalement from rebar, but what does OSHA and Cal-OSHA require for other exposed steel?
Cal-OSHA T8 CCR CSO§1712(a) Scope. This section applies to all work sites and locations where employees work around or over exposed, projecting, reinforcing steel or other similar projections.
While Federal OSHA’s steel impalement standard only covers rebar; the federal general duty clause that mandates employers to provide a safe workplace free from known hazards.
But how to protect workers?
